$3.95 pint can from Wine Warehouse. Pours hazy golden with a soft frothy white head. Aroma is heavy juicy citrus: lemon, orange, and grapefruit, earth, a little funk. Flavor is tart lemon zest, orange pulp, funk, earth, a hint of back end orange juice on the back end. Somewhat green hoppy flavor in there, cracker. Nice.

Draft. Hazy light golden body with a frothy white head. Aroma of lemon, toasted grain, mustiness. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet, lightly bitter and lightly acidic. Thin to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. A light golden Belgian ale with hints of funkiness. Light citrus/lemon tartness. A bit thin, but appreciate the flavor coaxed from a 4% beer. Dryer and crisper would have put this more in the classic saison arena.

This beer is a hazy pale golden color with a medium white head that evaporates quickly to a wispy film. Spotty lacing. Aroma of citrus, yeast and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of lemon, salt, wheat and doughy malt. The finish is mildly tart with a lemony aftertaste. Decent overall.

Can sample from the brewer, thank you sir! Deep amber color, almost brown. Earthy tea and raspberry aroma. Tea dominates the taste too, not much saison, but still tasty and easy drinking.

Poured from can thanks Stfun all central state cans gushed on opening and this was the same. Pitch black with long lasting fluffy mocha head. Aromas of dark fruit roasted malt and spent coffee. Taste is bitter bubbly mouth feel lacking the rich a creamy texture I was hoping for. Yeast adds a weird flavor.
