Pint can. Cloudy yellow pour with a small diminishing white had that recedes to a fine scum. The aroma is medium in strength with lemons in the forefront followed by some sawdust and limes. The flavor is dominated by the citrus flavors of lemons and limes with a woody undertone. The palate is light and crisp. Finishes long and lemony-tart-acidic. Marked down a point or two for lingering acidity. Grapefruit type bitterness noted. Overall: Decent saison--nice summer quaff. Paired well with some Manchego cheese and roasted cashews
