Hazy orange pour - not very saison-like, this - kind of like a vaguely Belgian weizenbock in some ways - nose is highly phenolic, with strong notes of clove, banana, pepper - also some overripe apple sweetness and vanilla - a lot going on in the nose, but all a bit messy - tangy up front, with a little bit of toasted grain huskiness - kind of slick in the mouth - notes of overripe apple - peppery phenolics amplified by slight alcohol presence - quite bit of banana and clove - heavy finish of yeast/bread, lingering apple and strong spice - much like the nose, the flavor has a lot going on, but it is not well-integrated and the phenols get a tad abrasive in the finish - okay, but messy.

On tap at the brewery. Pours with a clear yellow body and a voracious, white head. Aromas are grassy, funk, peppery, ginger, grassy, malty, bready and phenolic/spicy. Flavors are lightly tarty, pretty subdued yeast character, ginger, bready, orange, somewhat crisp. Lightly grassy. Tasty. Lively bubbles and dry as always! Absolutely excellent session beer (despite my rating numbers, this would be a beer I’d want to drink every day)!

On tap at the brewery. Pours with a hazy copper body with a lasting off-white head. Aromas are flowery, spicy, phenol, malty, hoppy and some vanilla. Flavors are malty, honey/floral, grainy, a bit of peppery phenol. Lively bubbles, dry and good. A bit more malt forward (and yeast clean) than any of the other Funkwerks beers that I have had. Nearly Biere de Garde like in that respect.
