Served on-tap at the Publick House. When I saked which Saison this was I was told it was Saison de Shed.

Poured a murky orange with no head. It was murky enough that light had trouble breaking through. Nose was malty with just a slight hint of spices.

Flavor had bits of cloves and spices. But nothing particularly jumped out at me. Just a bit too medicinal too for my preference. Just a tad under-carbonated. Becuase it was too flat it was a bit heavy on the palate rather than light. It was alright but I found it a bit dissapointing.

Bottle courtesy of weeare138 (thanks!).

Poured a lighter and cloudy golden color with an averaged sized white head. Major sulphur aroma that was almost hard to get around. Other aromas of leather and citrus lurking in the background. Tastes of lemon, citrus, brett and spices.

Get rid of the overpowering sulphur aroma, and this would be much better.

Poured a hazy golden color with a small, white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus fruits, barnyard, and some sulphur as well. Taste of cirtus fruits, became rather tart after a while, some pepper, yeast, lemongrass, and light brett as well. Dusty mouthfeel.

Much thanks to grassrootsVT for this...
Appears a hazy light gold with a small white cap that seems to have good retention. Streaky lacing is left behind.
The aromas are of slight sulphur(perhaps something went awry with bottle conditioning?), peppery spice, barnyard funk, and citrus. Unfortunately, something happened with the aroma in the bottles. Shaun admittedly isn't a fan of the sulphur aroma coming from the bottled version of this brew. The draft version, however, was devoid of such an aroma and he has assured me that it is still the case. Perhaps another sampling direct from draft will make me rerate at a future time.
Taste is peppery, citrusy, spicy, along with the Dupont yeastiness.
Mouthfeel has that nice spicyness with a semi dry feel and a mild linger. Nice use of the yeast comes through. Once I got past the sulphury aroma in the bottled version, all the subtleties and characteristics are there for a good saison.
