Pours a clear light gold, topped briefly by a finger of foam, quickly a thin cap and persistent ring follow. Spotty lace overarches the ring.

Light citrus hops linger above some lightly tart and just mildly spicy yeast notes, with some stale sweet also in the mix.

All the flavors of the nose with the sweet more prominent, but equally stale. This may have been more lively when fresher. Lackluster finish to say the least, with an end of sip that compares poorly to many of the other saisons I have enjoyed lately.

Undercarbed, not refreshing, mildly interesting, and a finish that is less than optimal, to be kind.

Without doubt the least enjoyable of the small batch beers from Smutty, and I don't recommend it.

Bottle from Bert's
Pours a strikingly clear medium golden color with a huge bubbly white head that shows great retention and lace. Aromas of light sweet sugar and honey with pear and apple notes along with some yeasty phenols and a hint of tropical fruit. The flavor is light and sweet with a nice hit of earthy yeasty phenols. Lots of light fruit flavors play nicely with a moderate level of hop bite. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a sweet fruity tart mouthfeel. Nice brew, I'm glad I got to try it but seriously smuttynose at a retail of almost 18 dollars I'm finding it very hard to continue supporting your brewery.

Pours a murky amber orange with a massive three inch soapy white head. Liquid is completely free of fines and sediment from start to finish. Thick foam and very clingy too with legs like Tina Turner, wow.

Aroma is packed with the typical barnyard of sorts you would expect from a Farmhouse Ale. Apricot, water melon and pear dominate followed by spices and of course that bready Belgian yeast smell.

Flavors of white grapefruit and freshly squeezed orange take charge followed by peppery spices and fresh cut grass. An almost perfect flavor profile accept for the alkaline aftertaste in the finish.

Body is medium with a slite bittering feel on the tongue thanks to it's freshness. Carbonation is low and the alcohol is barely noticeable. Finishes crisp and dry.

Overall a decent example of the style. The first couple of glasses a bit more chilled were refreshing. As I finish the bottle and it gets closer to room temperature is where I feel the beer loses it's flavor edge to the metal gods. A bit on the pricey side too but it is a one off.
