4 oz. draft pour as part of a flight at Glendale Tap. Cloudy yellow, nice head, excellent retention and lacing. Aroma is subtle citrus, vanilla. Taste is strong vanilla, lighter bubblegum, orange, mildly dank, Fruit Loops. Smooth, silky texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Leans a little too sweet and the vanilla is interesting, though don't necessarily love it.

750mL with code 06 4 23B on the neck, drunk 3/5/26.
A good mix of various funky acids in the nose, with Brett leading the charge. Get a pinch of acetic, small amount of lactic and a very robust, fruity Brett character with soft lime, cherry, and mild funk. It transitions to a cleaner Sacch. character redolent of saison, adding apple and pepper, on the finish. Rustic grain and lingering lively fruitiness. Quite lively and very aromatic with a great clarity.
Citrusy and earthy with spicy phenols and still that touch of acetic to go along with a light oakiness. Brett not quite as prominent in the flavor, leaving more room for the saison yeast. Very vibrant mouthfeel with tight, natural carbonation and a nicely malty, well-attenuated texture. Maybe a shade more acidic than I'd prefer my saisons to be, even the barrel-aged ones, though it's hardly a huge issue. Pretty interesting mix of cultures and the oak and Sacch. really stand out in the flavor, while the Brett is a knockout in the nose. Seems like this could easily go another ten years to develop a ton of complexity. Still tastes too young, so it certainly needs at least another year or two.

Bottle shared at Anti-Carnavalstasting 2026. Clear golden color, small white head. Aroma and flavor are no where near a saison. This is a sour. Plain and simple. And a pretty sad one as well. One dimensional, sour, I'm disappointed. SARA used to be on top of their game but this is way way way off.

Bottle shared at Anti-Carnavalstasting 2026. Clear golden color, average sized white head. Smell and taste are very sour, sharp even, lightly greenish plant like, yet not in any offensive way, however the beer is quite sharp. Hmm. Unbalanced imo.
