750mL bottle, pours a clear pale blonde with a medium white head. Aroma is full of rustic farmhouse yeast, light peppery spiciness, and biscuity malt. Flavour is rustic and spicy, with rustic farmhouse yeast, lots of spiciness, some black pepper, and biscuity malt. Spicy, rustic and fairly vibrant. Very good.

8.4/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 9 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
Pale, slight haze, with a fairly thick head. Refined aroma, herbaceous, soft sweet malts. It's bright, nice lemony, orangey notes, with a hint of hop. Bready pale malt, nice off-dry finish, rounded wine barrel, and a good balance between the different elements.

7.1/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
750mL bottle, pours a mostly clear blonde with a medium white head. Aroma is very fragrant and rustic, with lots of rustic saison yeast, gentle farmhouse funk, and a hint of spiciness. Flavour is maybe not quite as nice, with rustic saison yeast, some light residual sugars, harsh hopping, and light peppery notes. Not getting the white wine barrels. The nose is way better than the flavour. Good but a bit too much residual sugary, harsh hops, and not enough farmhouse notes.
