Tap at Vine Street - an interesting brew here - not entirely saison-like, but good - quite dry and lightly dusty in the nose, with light notes of apple and pear, but otherwise moderately spicy and lightly phenolic - the sour mash adds an interesting dimension to the brew - it is quite dry, with moderate spicy/peppery notes - there is a light fruity character that the sour mash accentuates quite well, creating a strong white wine character throughout - finish is moderately bitter, a little flinty, very dry - the only flaw is that the rice creates a light starchiness in the aroma and flavor that the beer could really do without - refreshing and interesting.

Tap @ Vine Street. Pours a clear, light orange appearance with a white head. Greeny, herbal, grassy, earthy aroma. Somewhat dull lemon fruity, very floral, spicy hoppy, grassy, straw flavor. Pretty strong in alcohol but I guess that’s what I should expect from this dumb style.

Having this one side by side with the Ciel was quite the experience - while the Ciel had a lot going on with peppery and funky phenols, this beer was much cleaner and brighter - dry as all get out, with crisp, crackery maltiness - there are some phenols present, but there are subtle, adding some flinty/earthy/dusty notes and a hint of pepper - very mild estery character in the finish - so crisp - so dry - so delicious - this brewer keeps improving on Belgian styles - love this!
