Bottle @SARA, shared with friends. Pours lightly hazy pale golden straw, small white head, decent lacing. Aroma is light funk, hay, brett, basement mustiness. Flavor is light, fruity, funky, just a bit of sweetness but pretty dry overall, not much bitterness and just a hint of tartness. Minerally flavor. Light body, prickly carbonation. Where is the barrel influence?

Tap @SARA. Pours hazy golden orange with a small off-white head and good lacing on the glass. Aroma is smokey, lemon, funk, basement, a bit of oak. Flavor is dry, lightly tart with a touch of funk and smoke, but less of both than the nose suggests. There is some smoke lingering on the finish. Not a lot of barrel notes in the flavor. Medium body.

Bottle. Thanks Joe for sharing! Split 5 ways around 55F.
A - Pale yellow, minor cloudy appearance. This gushed slightly and kept gushing for some time after the first 2 pours.4 finger head in the glass, faded slightly.
S - smells incredibly yeasty! loads of honey, grass and lemon. A bit of rye and floral aromas.
T - Taste is pretty weak. Very spicy herbal and some tasty yeasty floral taste with a sweetness at the backend. I get a touch of brandy at the bak end
M - dry with an oily finish
O - This is a solid beer. I wouldn’t seek it out again but this is nice and has that SARA yeast character that I like a lot.

750 ml bottle. Aroma is slightly sulfuric with some baby poop character. Some light butter character with a moderately strong phenolic note. Light oak character and faint esters. Pours a cloudy, pale straw yellow with a large, somewhat thin white head that recedes quickly to a persistent film. A bit of a gusher. Flavor is similar to aroma but with more stone fruit and pear esters and a hint of brandy, Light oak, not much butter or sulfur. Medium light bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium high carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, an alright beer but not a great beer. The aroma isn’t great, but the flavor isn’t bad. Not much brandy character though.

Bottle @ Doodler. I got this in a BA trade. Pours a milky light yellow appearance with a white head. A touch cheesy, vanilla, bright lemon citrusy aroma. Moderately tart. A little grassy, funky, bright lemon/pineapple juicy flavor. Tart finish. Great.

75 cl bottle @ tiong
Aroma has strong citrus notes. Also some tart, earthy notes and grapefruit. Flavour has strong lemon notes, grapefruit and lactic tones. Also some earthy tones typical to lambics on the flavour side – and sorbus. Not the most typical saison and rather weird but I seem to enjoy this. Could be a sour ale as well.
