A: Looked great. Poured a huge super carbonated white head. Unfiltered pale gold color.
S: Just ok...no Belgian yeast flavors that I love.
T: Alcohol city. It's boozy quality ruins this beer. I'm down with high alcohol beers but this ruins the palate cleansing qualities of saisons.
M: Highly carbed but just ok body.
O: Will never get again. I love saisons...this is not a good one.
Paired with Thai Curry Chicken and Thai Basil Beef.

Judiciously removing the cork here proved to be a mistake, as it's mostly lifeless. Murky yellow with a faint white skim.
Smell is oddly appealing. Yeasty, skunky, slatey and latic. Moderate strength.
Taste is saisonish, yeast and mineral wise. Fruit, but sloppy.
Mouthfeel sucks. Flat and watery. Such an epic fail here, I'm surprised the taste and smell are OK.
Drinkability ok. Really not bad smell and taste wise, but the citically terrible mouthfeel really hampers this beer overall.

Appearance: 22oz bottle poured into a pint glass results in a hazy yellow honey color with a 3" head that hangs around with solid lacing. Good looking Saison.
Smell: Food beer - yes. Good and welcoming - yes. Dominant combo of lemon and spices, pleasant and inviting.
Taste: Strong biscuits, wheat, coriander, lemon zest, apples, banana, and a bit of barnyard stink are what make this a typical saison. Bitterness not so much. Alcohol in the background. Complex and interesting.
Mouthfeel: Carbonated! light to medium bodied. Very crisp. Aftertaste is short.
Overall: easily drinkable, complex flavors keeps it interesting. Worth sharing.
