Murky pale blond colour. Some funk, but also a lot of doughy yeast. The flavour is similar, also some lemon; moderate acidity.
It's ok.

750mL bottle, pours an opaque yellow with a small white head. Aroma is full of wild yeast and oak, followed by rustic saison yeast—also some phenols unfortunately. Flavour has a lot of wild yeast, oak, pineapple, rustic yeast, and unfortunately again a bunch of phenols in there. Finishes wild, citrusy, okay, rustic, and phenolic. This would be great without the phenols—needs cleaning up as is.

750ml (thx, Alex M.!) on Phill's deck. Appearance: hazy blonde with a white head. Aroma: funky, barrel, band-aids, maybe some manure, lemony. Taste: along the same lines, super carbonated, fermented veggies. Overall: it's weird, but quite good.

(750ml bottle from Alimentation L'Impact, Quebec City) Pours very hazy bright yellow-gold with a thick white head and some lace. Aroma is nice bold leafy fragrant herbal hops, fresh pine and cut grass, funky unripe pineapple and lemons, good Brett leathery dusty complexity, spicy wood and phenols, maybe a little cereal in the back. Flavour is dry and very lightly tart, lemon peel and unripe pit fruit, fresh conifer needles, cut herbs, spicy wood, aromatic bitters, very subtle lactic acidity, nice wheaty cereals. Finish is bone dry with notes of lemon-lime pulp and zest, peppery herbs and dusty lightly funky yeast. Long woody aftertaste, a little astringency. Light bodied, almost fluffy with nice filling bottle condition carb. Excellent farmhouse IPA or hopped saison, whatever you want to call it!

(750ml bottle from L'Axe du Malt, Quebec City) Pours lighlty hazed pink peach with an actively reviving white head and no lace. Aroma of red berries, red plums and fresh flowers with not terribly heavy wine notes, some richer citrus, moderate dusty funk and some smooth light saison yeast ester and phenol blend. Flavour is quite dry overall with very subtle acidic tartness; dominant fruity notes of surprisingly floral red grape with undertones of pink grapefruit, soft dusty saison yeasty quality, no acetic quality to speak of, light funk and just a little mineral in the bone dry finish that has crushed flowers, light saison phenols and a touch of grape tannin. Light bodied with filling champagne-like carbonation. Perhaps somewhat muted on the palate, some UT reviews suggest this bottle faded very fast though I'd expect
