16 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but is a recent local release. Pours slightly hazy pale golden straw color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lightly tart lemon, lime, pear, red apple, melon, citrus peel, white grape, peppercorn, clove, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, wheat, cracker, spicy rye bread, light musty funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/funky/spicy yeast, earthy hops, and light-moderate pale/rye malt notes; with great strength. Taste of lightly tart lemon, lime, pear, red apple, melon, citrus peel, white grape, peppercorn, clove, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, wheat, cracker, spicy rye bread, light musty funk, and yeast earthiness. Moderate peppery Brett/rye spiciness, herbal/grassy bitterness, and light yeast tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, lime, pear, red apple, melon, citrus peel, white grape, peppercorn, clove, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, wheat, cracker, spicy rye bread, light musty funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/spicy yeast, earthy hops, and light-moderate pale/rye malt flavors; with a great malt/bitter/spiciness balance; and zero astringent flavors after the finish. Moderate increasing dryness from bitter/spiciness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, and bready/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4%. Overall this is an excellent table saison. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/spicy yeast, earthy hops, and light-moderate pale/rye malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink; with the moderately bitter/spicy/drying finish. Very flavorful for the low ABV. Great well rounded Brett/saison yeast complexity, balanced earthy hops, and solid rye malt backbone. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

Somewhere in Florida: pours pale opaque haze. Aroma is light citrus and some earthiness. Taste is earthy and citrusy. Not huge body. Some sweetness at first but much more dry as I drink it. Definitely see notes of brett that be up in there.

Draft at Salud. Cloudy yellow color. Lemon aroma. Lemon taste. Throat punch? Sucker punch? The most interesting beer name I've seen for a while, and it's entertaining just sitting at the bar and listening to people trying to pronounce it. Most just give up.
