Poured from a 750 ml bottle.
Aroma is fruity with notes of cherry pie, tart cherries and nectarines. Lighter hints of lemon and some herbal, earthy phenolics. Hints of oak. Light grain and alcohol notes.
Pours a hazy, golden orange color with a medium sized, thick, fluffy, white head that recedes quickly to the edges where it lingers. Light lacing and small legs.
Flavor is slightly sweet with slight acidity. Medium light grain notes with medium bitterness and light alcohol notes. Light cherry notes, a touch medicinal. Some cherry pie and hints of nectarine. Light lemon notes. Hints of oak. Medium light herbal, earthy phenolics notes.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth.
Overall, a solid barrel aged saison. Balanced acidity and fruity yeast notes. Nice fermentation characteristics.

Sample at the roost pours a clear gold with some sticky white head. Nose is simple grist, herbal, grassy, catty too. Flavor falls off some, there's a lightly sour note, herbal too, but feels a bit aged. Some dandelion now. Medium bodied. 7 7 6 6 6

On tap at Uba ja Humal, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has a strange murky blend of the white wine and saison character, with some wood glue that’s quite prominent, musty grape skins, and earthiness. Flavour is a little better, with plenty of white wine grape skins, a touch of wood glue, farmhouse notes, and moderate acidity. I like the Pinot Gris notes but I’m less convinced of the rest. Decent but way subpar for SARA.

Golden, slight haze, vibrant appearance, medium head. Somewhat sticky, a bit floral, this wants some bugs to dry it out…there’s a touch of hop but yeah a bit sweet.

Dull haze, medium head. Off-dry malt, still a touch sticky. I definitely want more bitterness and more dryness.

Pale, slightly dull. Sweet, sticky, doesn’t get it done, almost like stuck fermentation or something.

Pale amber and just a slight haze. Thin head. Some brett and a bit of acetic. Tart, quality, some stone fruit. More sour than grisette.

Hazy pale amber, medium head. Floral, some phenols, low bitterness…not what I expected from Sante.

16 oz. can at Brewklyn, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of allium, balanced with dank, piney hops, and some tanginess from the Nelson. Flavour is much the same, with tangy hops, allium, and some dankness. The Nelson helps balance the allium from the Citra. Not my optimal hop expression but this is well-brewed.

4 oz pour on draft. Clear golden yellow with off-white head. Aroma and taste has citrus, floral, pine. Medium body. Nice West Coast style.
