Reddish-brown, with a touch of haze. There is a bit of bubbles but no real head. The aroma is light currant, and showing sour. The sour is mellow, has a good blackcurrant taste...just basic, balanced.

650mL bottle, pours a deep dark pink with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of balsamic, black currant tartness, light-medium juiciness, and light funk. Flavour is very pithy, with a black currant cough syrup quality to it, not a whole lot else. Not much depth or complexity, with a very syrupy finish. Not really feeling this compared to the other variants. Okay.

Red-amber color, clean. Balanced beer, with some sourness and some sweetness, while the currant provides just traces of berries.
Nice, not too complicated.

650mL bottle, pours a murky dark orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of fruity subdued pomegranate upfront, followed by light tartness. Flavour is super fruity, with tons of fresh, lightly tart pomegranates. Not much else to report but the juicy fruity, with little residual sweetness. Delicious.

A bottle on Black Christmas 2016 at 12 Kings. Pours a hazy dirty golden with a weak white head. Aroma is sour, fermented stone fruits. Taste is the same with additional sour cranberry notes. Carbonation level is low. Quite pleasant.

Hazy blond-golden color. Fruity sourness dominates this beer, although the acidity is very mild; hints of spices in the aroma; the mouthfeel is rather dry but soft, seducing and refreshing; there is some crisp malt, and a strong presence of white grapes. So clean that I even forgot it’s a Saison.
Very good.

Bottle: Poured a deep purple color ale with a nice dark foamy head with OK retention and light lacing. Aroma of huge blackberry notes with some tart notes also noticeable. Taste is also a mix of loads of blackberry notes with some tart notes, light acidic notes with a somewhat dry finish. Body is full with limited filtration and good carbonation. The level of complexity and drinkability is quite incredible in this beer.
