1 Liter swing-top into a Duvel snifter pours a crisp orange with a frothy off-white head that lasts as a thin layer and leaves decent lacing on the glass. Aroma is crisp sweet malts, spice and yeast. Orange peel and sweet fruits are present as well. The taste is a nice blend of sweet malts, sweet fruits, spices such as clove and pepper and slightly syrupy alcohol. The beer is quite crisp and light for the alcohol strength, making it a great spring beer, although it is one to be careful with, especially at 1 Liter. This is a great American brewed saison, something you honestly don't see enough of.

I wasn't expecting this to be as farmhouse sour as it is. Lots of bubble gum and spice but also pretty tart. Ok beer but I wouldn't get this beer again

L - copper and clear with clarity. 1 finger of head and some lacing
S- Belgian yeast dominates
T- citrus and grapefruit. Tasty! More of a Belgian IPA. Perfect amount of sweetness
F- well carbonated
O- An awesome brew. Kind of like the Iron Rail but with Belgian yeast.

A: The beer is relatively clear golden yellow- amber in color and has a slight amount of carbonation. It poured into a snifter glass with a quarter finger high off white head that died down, leaving a thin collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of fruits stand out in the taste - oranges seem to stand out in particular.
T: The taste is similar to the smell and seems very sweet with flavors of candied orange peels along with hints of coriander spices.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate among of carbonation.
O: This isn't your typical saison. It tastes more like a tripel or a souped up version of a saison meshed with a witbier. No traces of alcohol are perceptible.

Pours a somewhat hazy orange with a thin head that fades to a ring. Smells of orange blossom honey up front with some coriander, followed by some orange juice aromas. Tastes like orange and tangerine juice all the way, with some peel at the end and some more coriander floating throughout. Super smooth in the mouth- eminently quaffable and refreshing, which means the abv is nicely hidden as well. A different take on a saison, but it works for me.

Glad to have a chance to finally try a bunch of new brews from Wedge. Pretty much cleaned the taps out over the last week there.
From the nice pour here we can really get things going. A nice golden amber color that has a light haze and great visible carbonation that streams to the surface with great force. A nice moderate level of white head rises up and stays on the surface for what seems to be forever while the rest settles down. Light aroma, bready with hints of lemon, pears and apples that settle in nice but start to fade as it warms. Taste is a little let down as it comes across a bit muddled and lacking the direction I was hoping to find. Sweet tasting with hints of bready, cookie dough like flavors mixed with light fruits and touches of grassy notes. Firm, yet light body is nicely blended and sits well on the palate.
Overall a really solid offering, but it needs something more, not sure what, but something, still not bad.
