375mL bottle, undated, as pictured.
Tons of Brett and soft oak with vanilla and mild grape. Super low acidity, very approachable. But not too low in acidity. Malt, culture, grape, barrel all well-integrated.
Soft and malty with a chewy wheat and oaky texture. Moderate acidity, nothing sharp or aggressive. Good, fruity Brett and tons of malt and oak.

12 oz can. Pours a golden amber, lightly hazy, with a white head. Yeasty, herbal aroma, bubble gum. Flavor is yeasty mixing with biscuit, pear, herbal, maybe a touch of the oak in the finish. Not bad at all.

12 oz can. Pours a pale yellow, fully hazed, with small particles and a white head. Aroma is bright, yeasty and grassy. Flavor is similar, with yeastiness coming across a bit pearlike, grassy/herbal flavors, pale malt. A solid saison.

Aromas are citrus, malt, Brett, caramel, maybe some oak. Flavors are similar to nose; just slightly more sweet than tart or bitter. Add in some herbs. When opened a slow gusher but still slightly soft carbonation. Drinkable but nothing special.

On tap at Iron Bay Taproom in Marquette. A black or deep brown pour with a white head. Red grape and oak in the aroma. Flavors of red grape, oak, lightly tart, hinting at molasses. Pretty nice.

4.5% ABV. Aromas are fresh cut grass, herbs, malt, barnyard and a little citrus. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, losing the barnyard with citrus and herbs standing out. Bitter dominates with a little sweet and decent carbonation to balance. Drinkable but not much more.
