Pours bright magenta into a tulip. Pink head with good retention recedes leaving trailing sheets. Blackberry and cranberry aromas. Soft with sweet blueberry upfront turning quickly to tart blackberry and raspberry before the lasting cranberry cobbler finish. Nice.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: bright yellow color with some transparency and a finger's worth of white foamy head which quickly dissipated and didn't leave any lace
Aroma: lemon notes, subtle sour; subtle lacto/yogurty; nice tart level with some sweet grass and/or lemongrass
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a sour and tart quality; finishes tart and slightly funky with the lacto parts
Texture: light bodied, leaning into being a sipper due to the sour and tart levels acting fairly assertive; not as much smoothness
Overall: not a bad sour saison, but boy oh boy, it's one you might want some water after this one.

Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: golden yellow color with a slight haziness to it and a two finger white foamy head which took it's time to dissipate and once it did, some mellow lace appeared
Aroma: Bretty/sour tones, slight funk, earthy to grassy tones, light straw/hay, some pineapples and mangoes
Flavor: meshes those prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to tart and semi-vinous quality; finishes semi-dry with a touch of funk, pineapples and earthiness
Texture: medium bodied, leaning into being a sipper - hmmmm, slightly; light smoothness with a little bit of tart to funky character strolling over the tongue
Overall: pretty nicely done saison I believe I could return to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: copper color with a quickly dieing head that didn't leave any lace
Aroma: sweet cherries, cranberry tart and sweet tones, light tangerines and a touch of some peaches/apricots; subtle yeasty character
Flavor: meshes the noted fruity aromas to a fine sweet to tart to semi-sour and a touch of bitter tones to one character; finishes with all those fruits
Texture: light bodied, sessionable; light smoothness with expected tart character but honestly, it wasn't anything offensive
Overall: pretty nicely done fruit beer or kettle sour depending upon who you talk to. I would revisit this one.

Poured into a nonic (I thought this was a fruit beer, well then, uhmmm, alrighty then)
Appearance: dark violet color with a two finger pink foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: red raspberries - sweet & tart, some lactose and super light creaminess further underneath
Flavor: blends the sweet to the tart - the raspberries into the lactose to make the sweet subside a little bit; mild raspberry to lactose aftertaste
Texture: between light and medium bodied, sessionable; moves nicely along my tongue; finishes with the raspberries and lactose
Overall: starting to think I was right on the fact that this is a real "fruit beer" unless too much lactose was involved to possibly block the tart wheat aspect of the Berliner weisse tones. I'd have again for me but if you're a true Berliner weisse fan, you might not really like this beer.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt orange close to amber color with a one and a quarter fingers of white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: muted citrusy hoppy notes with some lactose and some clean malts
Flavor: it doesn't entirely mesh together as the sweetness of the hops seem to fall separately from the bitter side; then there's a sugar aftertaste of candied fruits
Texture: medium bodied, I believe it was mean to be a sipper - maybe; it gets kinda cloying on the tongue; finishes fairly sweet with candied fruits
Overall: I'm just going to say this - yes - it's a crowded market on DIPA's these days and my hard stare at Foundation tells me why this beer has been retired.
