Bottle, huge thanks to the one and only Vojta L. for sharing this! Murky red-amber body. Big aroma, pleasant oakiness, raisins, light funk. Tart taste, pleasant woody touches, funk, dried aprocots, mildly earthy, some sourness bite, blueberries, vague alcohol. Lovely stuff, apart from a dry funky touch in the aftertaste that's kinda getting in the way. Really glad to have tried it!

pint can. Clear copper colored pour with a lasting off-white head. The aroma is mildly spicy with straw , herbs and a bit wet earth. The taste is lightly hoped breads, caramel and some rye. The palate is medium in viscosity and crisp. Finishes long and a bit sticky. Overall: Decent Marzen.

3 week old can A: Lightly hazed pale gold with a small, fast falling white head. S: Bright aroma heavy on peaches with citrus zest and wafer cookies projected from the glass. T: Fairly high sweetness is balanced by stone fruit and pineapple notes, then citrus pith and wood toward the end. M: Soft carbonation and medium light body. Slightly feathery texture. O: Pretty good though it looks and sort of drinks more like a hazy than a westy. Also a bit more peach and sweetness than I prefer.

Pour is a hazy blonde with almost no head at all. Aroma is green apple and green grapes with a little white wine. Flavor is a super dry and tart vinous white grape and finishes chardonnay buttery. Equal parts saison and white wine.
