Can, undiscernable date stamp, but 2024 canning, drunk 8/28/25. Batch 3.
Clear, lemony-brassy-golden. Big, fluffy, white head.
Bright, hoppy, lots of gooseberry and stone fruit with rich, bready, biscuity malts and plentiful acidity from oak. Dainty strawberry character lingering. Lots of bright piquant berry and a gentle sweetness. Oakiness a bit forward but it's minimally buttery, though a bit strongly tannic.
Piquant and oaky, with the oak rather unrelenting throughout, though, again, it isn't bad. Strawberry and honey-like malt does give a rather strawberry shortcake character though the acidity keeps it from being too sweet. Soft, deep, malty palate, maybe a bit mushy at times, which is kind of surprising given all the oak. Fun stuff, though, if rather not traditional. Not really getting much in the way of saison character. Just vague Belgian/mixed ferm house yeast, which is fine too. I feel like this would have done better with just Sacch. instead of mixed culture.
