Draft at the brewery taproom. Pours clear, orange-brown with a creamy, tan head. The nose holds brown bread and restrained saison yeast. Medium sweet flavour with some bitter orange peel, bread crust and caramel. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Harsh bitterness in the finish, with moderate phenolic character, toast, brown sugar. Overly bitter, disjointed and not terribly drinkable.

Draft at the brewery taproom. Pours clear yellow with a foamy topping. The nose holds mild floral hops, lemongrass. Light sweet flavour, a little astringent, with citrus peel bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation. Bitter finish with more lemongrass character, some pithy citrus. Just so so. A bit mediocre, really.
