Smell is lemon zest, Belgian yeast funk, typical saison smell.
Taste is lemon, citrus, and peppercorn with a somewhat dry finish. Just an average saison overall.

I had this beer on draft from a shaker pint. It pours a simple straw color with little head. The nose presents a classic Belgian yeast, but with the balance pushing toward a clove-centric spiciness. The flavor is mild, the spice note is still dominant, but not in a way that diminishes the refreshing nature of the beer. The bubbles were a tad flat for a lively saison, but this is me being nit-picky. Overall, this is a solid sateside saison - refreshing, flavorful, and simple.

Lucid Silo Saison, Lucid Brewing, Minnetonka, MN. Brewed and bottled by Lucid Brewing Company, Minnetonka, MN. Saison-styled Ale. 5.5% ABV.
Thoroughly hazed, dark amber hue, smallish white head. (Starts big, but collapses quickly.)
Aroma: Earthy. Malty. Belgian yeast-y. Just enough sweetness. Rye malt? Very rustic, right on point. I like this.
Taste: Ah! Yum! Tasty Belgian malt, minor hops, spicy & earthy malts. Medium to low body, easy consumability. Much complexity. A different take on a saison than we typically get from our local breweries.
I admit this: When I downed my first bottle from this six-pack I wasn't sure if I like it, so much so that I regretted having 5 more to pass down my gullet. With my second bottle, I like it more and more, wondering what I objected to with the first one. Now that I've finished my final one with these notes, I wish I had another.

Very effervescent. Tasty and yeasty, but tough to have more than one.
