look: 3.25 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
Medium body and about the same for carbonation
Aroma is citrus peel with some fruit , earthy, floral and spice
Taste is more bitter than aroma hinted at yet also has some mild sweetness that creates a nice balance. Bitter citrus peel is the most dominant flavor
Overall it was a very decent beer that was worth trying

Poured from a can. Hazy and golden in color with a large white head. Smells of grass and lemon. Flavors include lemon, bread and slightly fruity. Overall good saison.

12oz can into a pint glass

Look: Pale, mostly clear yellow. Rocky, 2 finger head that leaves lacing all the way down.
Smell: Not getting a ton on the nose, banana and that's about it.
Taste: Follows the nose but more intense. Lots of banana, and some green apple on the end. Bready and sweet.
Feel: Thin mouthfeel but with big bubbles.
Overall: Very nice and refreshing. A bit thin on the nose and mouthfeel but solid and very drinkable.

I can appreciate it as a good representation of the style, just not a fan of the style. Did seemed to be a little over carbonated.

Hazy translucent bright yellow in appearance, with streams of bubbles and a resulting massive soapy white head. Good retention. Tons of lacing.
Can't smell much through the head, but I get green banana, green pear, tart green apple skin, hay, white grape must/white wine, clove, and white flowers.
Nice lemony flavor with tart green apple skin, pear, hints of banana, white cracker malt presence, hay, honeydew melon, with a touch of clove and bell pepper on the finish. Medium-dry finish.
The mouthfeel is a bit light, but the carbonation is intense. Makes for a refreshing thirst-quencher on a hot day.
A very fine and flavorful low-abv saison/grisette. Recommended for fans of the style.

Do you like Budweiser or Coors? Then this is the beer for you! Light and fizzy! Your friends all drink craft beer and you don’t want to be left out? Pick this up, and you can still fit in without any of those annoying hops or flavor that they always talk about! For fans of Bud, Coors, Labatt, and Corona.

Poured from a can into a 5oz taster, then drank the rest from the can.

Look: crystal clear pale straw with a thick fluffy head that faded really quickly.
Smell: Green apple sweetness. Really pleasant actually.
Taste: Light floral hops. Really, really sweet aftertaste. Super light on flavor.
Mouthfeel: Really light, some carbonation. Definitely less than I expected given that huge head.
Overall: started super sweet immediately, then turned kind of bitter, then sweet again. Somewhat of a forgettable beer. Not bad, but not really that great either.

On tap at Vermont Tap house. This was poured into a pint glass. The appearance was a hazy burnt yellow color with a light transparency about it. Carbonation could be seen rising at a moderate pace to fill a slim finger’s worth of quickly dissipating head. The smell had some sweet corn up front, a Belgian sweet sugary malt, some lemon pulp and some white pepper. Slight Belgian yeastiness (breadiness). The taste was mainly the same with a semi-dry sweet aftertaste and finish. On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent sessionability about it. Carbonation feels good. Some stickiness to the tongue, but nothing overbearing. Overall, saison, eh, maybe, hmmm...there’s some Belgian aspects going on, so I guess I can see it for the most part.
