This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance had a quickly settling semi-white somewhat foamy head leaving no lace. A transparent amber to dark red color gripped the body.
The aroma had some sweet red raspberries with some vanilla cream and Belgian breadiness. Stifled grassy notes on the back end.
The flavor mildly leads with the sweetness but somewhat had a touch of plastic character punching at the grassy to vanilla notes. Some aftertaste of a raspberries and vanilla with the plastic again.
The mouthfeel was between light and medium bodied with a decent sessionability about it. Good enough carbonation and lingering smoothness rolling along my tongue. Some plastic sweet raspberries in the finish.
Overall, not exactly one to want to come back to, the "plastic" quality is trying to make this beer unpleasant.

1st review of Fegley's and of their Space Monkey Saison. This does alright on taste but nothing else.
a) Red, sunset amber body, that flattens head fast and laces only a little. Makes 3.5 for color.
s) Raspberry, but of the more artificial kind with some yeast brightness, and not much else.
t) Taste is all right, but a little koolaid, and there's metallic, tang in the finale.
f) Thin, again pop/koolaid like, could have added a fruit powder to a watery saison for similar results.
o) Fails for me as a fruit beer (rare that I like one) and as a Saison (rare that I dislike one).
