Dark colour. Muddy. Looks like poo. Plastic aroma. Thin body. Nothing there, really. I mean, dark saison is a style that sucks at the best of times, but this misses pretty badly.

Bottle pour at Farmhouse Fest 2023, pours a cloudy orange with a medium white head. Aroma brings out lots of tart cherry pie, cinnamon, and some buggy wild yeast. Flavour is full of tart cherry pies, cinnamon, and buggy wild yeast. Cherry and cinnamon on the finish. Not that complex but not particularly interesting.

Can pour at Farmhouse Fest 2023, pours a deep dark amber brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out medicinal dark fruitiness and muddled earthiness. Flavour is woody, with medicinal dark fruitiness, earthiness, and wood varnish. Not infected but just not pleasant flavours. Needs serious work.

Can pour at Farmhouse Fest 2023, pours a cloudy golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out fruity stone fruits, tons of funky brett, and earthy citrus hops. Flavour is full of funky brett, muddled earthiness, and juicy stone fruits. Funky, bretty, dry and fairly hoppy. Pleasantly constructed but nothing all that special.
