Nothing to love or hate south about this beer. Very very very middle of the road.
negatives are that it could be a bit more clean, crisp, refreshing. Maybe a little too sweet or cloying. Mourhfeel also leaves just a bit to be desired.
*Edit - had a year old aged bottle that actually was really great. Improved the flavor quite a bit. A light hint of sour sweetness. Wonderful strawberry on the nose. Smooth body carbonation. Has lost any cloyingness

Way too sweet and fruity. Undrinkable. More like a strawberry soda.

Pours a clear gold with a one finger white head that disappates quickly. Aroma is fruity and floral, with some notes of straw coming across. Taste is sweet bready malt, floral, yeast, fruit (mainly strawberry), a hint of straw, and the slightest hint of funk/tartness . Mouthfeel is clean and crisp, with a snappy carbonation, and a bit of drying quality on the finish. Overall, this is a decent if unremarkable saison. I wish the strawberry came through more, but a drinkable effort that goes down quick nonetheless.

Pours a clear, maize color. 1/5 inch head of an off-white color. Slight retention and slight lacing. Smells of yeast, sweet malt, slight pale malt, floral, slight spice, hint of hop, and a hint of alcohol. Fits the style of a Saison / Farmhouse Ale. Mouth feel is sharp and clean, with an average carbonation level. Tastes of yeast, sweet malt, slight pale malt, floral, slight spice, hint of hop, and slight alcohol. Overall, weak appearance, decent aroma, decent body, and average blend.

Look - Nice color with a small head but retention is there.
Smell - It smells decent, a hint of strawberry and yeast.
Taste - Average flavor, I wish the strawberry had been a little more pronounced.
Feel - Thin but not watery.
Overall - I don't think I would seek it out again but I would drink it if offered to me.

12oz bottle. Poured out a cloudy, golden yellow color with a one-finger, white head of bubbly foam.It smelled of citrus fruits, herbs and yeasty notes. There was a touch of grainy presence. It tasted of grains, caramel and some apple with a touch of spicy, yeast flavor.

Beer Pours a strawberry blonde color with about 2 fingers white head. Good take on a saison. No real funk but the berry tart and sweet comes through. Overall a great summer beer . New to my store so had to try.

Orange, amber hue w/some cloudiness. Thin, tight lacing. Some tartness and strawberry in the scent. Crisp, slightly fizzy and tart up front. Has a hint of sourness and tartness. Finishes clean with some noticeable strawberry. Nice - I would recommend this as an alternative to a sour.
