Had heard that this is a new recipe, and have to agree that this is pretty good, even for Mystery. Def not a fan of this brewery, but this was a very nice saison. Fruity, hoppy, and earthy, nice and balanced.

16 oz can poured into a tulip glass . Hard to read the date, but it was born on somewhere in October 2015.
A - Dark ruby, somewhat cloudy. Little to no head moves quickly to a thin lace.
S- Pear, heavy cider, slight yeast and grain notes.
T - Very much in line with the nose, with some allspice and mild dirt/funk. Bread and malt notes develop as it warms, but the pear and cider dominate.
M - Carbonation medium low, somewhat watery. At times, it gets sharp at the finish.
O - An interesting, if unusual, take on the saison.

Poured into a Dogfish Spiegelau glass. Sample 12 oz. bottle from the brewery.
A- Pours a dark amber color with a 3/4 inch tan head that melts away quickly to a thin ring around the edge of the glass and random patches of bubbly surface foam. Not-so-resilient lacing leaves small clots behind.
S- Alcohol, yeasty effervescence and some strange smell I can't identify.
T- Certainly unique with the yeast creating a sort of murky base for the unusual spices to play off of. Slightly sweet as the biscuity malt brings a different dimension to what I thought a saison should be.
M- Milky in texture with medium carbonation and a body leaning toward the fuller side.
O- Such a different approach to the saison style. I understand that they're trying to get that autumnal quality from the higher malt content but it doesn't fully mesh well with the yeast and spices. Either way, quite drinkable and there's nothing particularly wrong with it.
