Okay, so it's a saison. I mean it's sour, yeah, but what else? No head, not that crisp, a little funk but nothing near like what you want in this style. Nose almost non-existent. It's like, "Here, let's give gluten-sensitive people a shadow of an idea of what saison should taste like."
All in all, a bit of a disappointment. Bad saison is like bad pizza, in my opinion: it's better than no pizza at all, but while this one is okaaaay, it's not quite right.

Buying beers you have never heard of on a whim is a hit or miss prospect. This one, unfortunately, was a bit of a miss.
Look-Poured a clear looking straw and orange that simply looked lifeless. It looked like water with some light food coloring. Minimal head and a lace that simply disappeared.
Smell- A metallic smell was followed by an orange peel aroma that was a little bit more passable. Later, a sweet caramel malt like aroma took over that made it more pleasant but not spectacular.
Taste- Mostly orange peel and spices, yet, very watery. Not offensive but generally bland.
Feel- Light and slightly crisp, but, in general not so easy to drink.
Overall- This one just tasted and felt off. I forgot to mention that it is gluten free. Perhaps gluten would have helped. I will not have this again.
