8/10
A lightly hazed golden ale with pinkish hues, and no head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with raspberry jam and light Brett, light lactic notes, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity mix of raspberry jam, light acidity, light Brett, very nice. On tap at brewery.

Pours a slightly hazed, golden colour with an amber hue, an off-white head, average and decent lacing. Wild, sour aromas with fresh apple juices, vinegar notes and hints of.... not maple, but oak-vanilla. If there is maple, it is a tad in the flavours, blending some mild sweetness, with the apples fruitiness, to the funkiness. A touch of wood and vanilla. Thankfully, after swirling the end of the bottle, getting a touch of maple. Was expecting more of a Triple, and maple - but no, got a nice funky-apple brew instead.

Lightly hazed, bright, light golden-yellow with a white head that stays a while and leaving a nice ring around the top of the brew. Sour aromas with some nice fruitiness like apples and white grapes. The sourness continues in the taste with the same fruitiness. The sour notes lingers quite a long time, which is nice instead of having a short finish, and tart left on the tongue. Quite a smooth sour, fruity beer with one of the longest lasting sourness I have had - and that is just fine, with yellow plums that is interesting.

Pale blond colour, hazy. The aroma is funky and sharply sour, possible light note of acetone. Dry and thin body; sharp acidity, with lactic acid tones, light funk. The acidity is too prevalent, compared to the Saison elements.

750ml (thx, Gabriel L.!) @ 🏡 Appearance: hazy blonde with a white head. Aroma: nice Brett and rustic notes, a bit of lemon zest. Taste: along the same lines, nice combination of rustic notes and lemony notes. Very round, low to medium carbonation. Overall: good one, but I would prefer it to be sharper and bubblier.

Bottle: Poured a clear pink color ale with a large white foamy head with minimal retention and some light lacing. Aroma of tart raspberry notes with some funky esther. Taste is also a mix of fresh raspberry notes with some tart notes and light funky barnyard notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Super well balanced raspberry wild beer.

Poured from 750mL bottle. Hazy deep orange with small white head. Red wine, feint strawberry and vanilla saison, decent. Everything fairly balanced, but not a standout.

750mL bottle, pours an opaque rusted reddish amber with a medium white head. Aroma brings out tart strawberry, red wine tannins, and some wild yeast. Flavour is tart and fruity, with lots of strawberry, red wine, some rustic notes, and a touch of wood. Lots of strawberry, melding decently with the saison characteristics. Fairly earthy and somewhat muddled, but nicely made overall.

Very pale purple. Just a thin head. The aroma is big pedio, damn. On the palate, it's more balanced. The grape comes through much more, the tartness is medium. It's a bit yeasty, but that's the saison base. The pedio doesn't actually show much on the palate. Pretty good if you can handle the aroma.
