Tart-n-sour farmhouse meets tart-n-sour citrus for a tart-n-sour haymaker to the palate. Massive amounts of orange, clementine, lemon, and grapefruit flavors coming from the heirloom citrus peel, while the saison grassiness underlines the fruit with a spicy herbaceous backbone. Moderate sweetness from the malts adds hints of clove and wheat, while the back end kicks up the funk, gaining a vein of straight horseblanket to shore up the fade. Tasty, but grows to be a bit much after a while--one pint and I'm good. Pours a lovely hazed orange-gold with a voluminous white head and modest lacing. Yeast, citrus, grass, and funk on the nose. Sparkly, boisterous feel is spot-on for a saison. Nice beer.

750 ml bottle into tulip glass, 2015 vintage bottling on the cork. Pours slightly hazy pale golden/yellow color with a 1-2 finger dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big lightly tart/tangy oranges, lemon, orange peel, peach, melon, pear, apple, peppercorn, light banana/clove, wheat, biscuit dough, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, light musty funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast, oranges/peels, and pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big lightly tart/tangy oranges, lemon, orange peel, peach, melon, pear, apple, peppercorn, light banana/clove, wheat, biscuit dough, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, light musty funk, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate peppery yeast spiciness; light herbal/grassy/citrus peel bitterness, and wheat/fruit tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of oranges, lemon, orange peel, peach, melon, pear, apple, peppercorn, light banana/clove, wheat, biscuit dough, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, light musty funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, oranges/peels, and pale malt flavors; with a great malt/spiciness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitter/spiciness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, bready/grainy/sticky, and lightly tangy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is an excellent fruited saison. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, oranges/peels, and pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/spicy/drying finish. Very flavorful for the ABV. Well rounded saison yeast complexity, with balanced oranges/peels and pils/wheat malts. Not a whole lot of brett, but solid presence. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

32oz growler poured into a keg shaped glass. Gulf of Mexico driftwood, Brian is really having a laugh about this one. I got this for $3, which is fine for a joke beer. Its an oily brett funk, just about it. A little sweet light goats oil. Light. Meh, fine. Not enough Mexican Gulf wood, I guess.
