12 oz. can, pours a cloudy dull golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma has pretty fragrant rustic saison yeast for a sub-5% saison, with floral tea notes on top. Flavour is much the same, with plenty of rustic saison yeast, floral tea notes, and some light graininess. Floral, rustic, tea-like finish. Really nicely done.

Bottle. Pours clear golden, medium fizzy white head, some lacing. Aroma is heavy pine needle, bugs, lemon. Flavor follows, light tart, light plus funk. Light body. Neat.

Purple brown colour, slightly acetic, malt note, light tartness. The acetic note makes this less effective for me.

Pale and slight haze. That is a lot of cucumber and a bunch of other things. Refreshing, cucumber, a bit of citrus, interesting.

On tap at Fair Isle, pours a clear pale peachy pink with a medium white head. Aroma has bright ginger, rustic saison yeast, and oak. Flavour is much the same, with subtle ginger, pink peppercorn, and rustic saison yeast. The adjuncts are incorporated very successfully here, finishing dry and buggy. Excellent.

On tap at Fair Isle, pours a clear dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma has gentle oak, subtle red wine tannins, and rustic notes. Flavour has tons of red wine tannins, oak, and rustic saison yeast. Tannic, oak, and buggy in great cohesion. Excellent.

On tap at Fair Isle, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small pink head. Aroma is full of really pithy cherries, gentle oak, and rustic saison yeast. Flavour is tart, with lots of intensely tart and deep pitted cherries, some bugs, and light oak. Intense tart cherries that work real well. Very good.
