Tastes like brandy with a minimal aroma of saison, as to be expected. That being said its a decent beer, but hay notes only cone through in lightest of sense. Pours cloudy orange with OK head and lacing. Tap at meridian pint.

Two full pint pours at the brewery, throughout dinner. Poured a clear golden color with a small foamy white head. Aroma was nice citrus notes - grapefruit immediately, light floral character. Flavor had a much more balanced hop and malt to it - easy to drink, light and sessionable.

16oz pour at the brewery comes a clear gold with some sudsy, lacing white head. Nose has a solid grapefruit punch at the front, some starfruit, some mild honey, floral too. Flavor is very nice, refreshing citrus without the punch of bitterness, a little lime, some mild malt, some light tropical fruit, lightly floral. Clean finish. Very nice beer.
