4oz draft pour at Spacebar. Poured a mostly clear amber/orange color. Off-white head. Aroma was light peaty smoke. Light sweet finish. Not a huge fan of this one, too smoky.

Bottle from Market Street Wine Shop Downtown. Pours clear golden with a small white head. Lots of bubbles along the sides of the glass. Aroma is light citrus, bread, mango. Flavor is citrus including orange peel and lemon zest - very much the white rind of an orange or lemon. Thatโs it. Not much to this.

Bottle: Poured a golden with a white head. Aroma is a more dank earthy than I thought it would be. Taste is hops forward but very water and soft malts.

Ridiculously pink coloured body with a great, pale pink coloured head, about five to six centimetres tall. Aroma of flowers, sour grapes, mellow wheat and coriander seed, some grassy and dry characteristics and finishes with a light yeastie and bready funk. Light-bodied; Smooth grassy and wheatie flavours at first with a very dry floral and herbal element and a sour funk from brett or grapes - very mild, but noticeable. Aftertaste shows a small sweetness from fruit with a definite grassy and even more floral characteristic along with a splash of vanilla and oak near the end to make it more mellow throughout. Overall, a nice beer that shows more of a herb/spice/veg beer than a Saison, but an absolutely beautiful colour and glow, but that doesnโt translate throughout the beer. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Costco on 20-June-2017 for US$6,99 sampled at home on the Eastern Shore in Pungoteague, Virginia on 02-July-2017.

Deep hazy red coloured body with a muddied brown glow and a thinnish, two centimetre tall tan head. Medium-bodied; Strong malt flavours with caramel, a touch of raisins and a dose of toast with a very small hop presence near the end. Aftertaste shows mostly of toasted malt, some caramel and pit fruit flavours, all ending with a little sweetness from caramel, but no hops or anything like that. Overall, fairly mundane, but had decent flavours - nothing bad or assertive, just mild throughout. I sampled this sixteen ounce pour on draught at Deadrise Pies in Cape Charles, Virginia on 02-July-2017 for US$6,00.
