This is a sour and very refreshing saison. Unfortunately, the astringency from the oak barrel was confusing and didn’t really work for my taste. Would recommend nonetheless.

A:
Pours a hazy straw with a finger or so of creamy off-white head that settles rather quickly to a film. Good retention; intricate, slippery lacing.
S:
Spicy and earthy. Lemon grass, white pepper, oak, bubblegum, barnyard.
T:
Tart, fresh, dry. Really tart up front with some earthy hop flavors and a funky dry finish. Straightforward and good.
M:
Really dry and medium bodied with a lingering feel and a dry finish.
O:
Pretty interesting saison.
This is a tasty and somewhat tart beer that uses barrel aging to make an already dry, quenching beer even more dry and quenching. Pours nice and smells/tastes nice. All-in-all I enjoyed it. I definitely like the slight Brett presence. I am ordinarily not a fan, but this one is subtle enough that I feel like I could maybe try something more in-your-face.
Would probably have again; worth trying if you're around CO.
