Purchased a growler directly from the brewery in Glen Mills. Poured into a goblet. %0A%0APours straw colored with a thick head that laces all the way down. %0A%0ASmell is hay and funk%2C with citrus mixed in at the front end. Taste is somewhat bretty%2C but mostly dry malt and a little banana. Finishes long and dry. %0A%0AA great showing of the style%2C which is how I rated it%3B not my favorite but very true to the style.

Draft at The Boilermaker in Philadelphia, PA.
Pours a clear, pale golden yellow color with a two finger frothy white head that slowly settles into a lasting ring. Chunks of soapy lacing left behind.
Slightly grassy, earthy aroma with a strong light fruit presence and subtle booze. Not as funky as expected with faint spice(coriander/pepper) and musty hay. Hints of apple and pear dominate the nose.
Medium bodied but slightly fuller than expected with subtle funkiness and a strong spice presence that lingers over the sweetner notes into dry finish. Hints of earthy, grassy hops and subtle barnyard funk followed by pepper and zesty citrus peel. Toward the end of swallow, sweetness comes in with booze and light fruit notes. Slightly funky and full bodied yet still drinkable and refreshing. Not terribly interesting but sessionable.

On-tap in a 13oz tulip glass.
Appearance: Hazy golden yellow with about a quarter inch of head.
Smell: Tart sour apple and other fruits, hay, wet grass and a funky yeast aroma.
Taste: Bready malt, spicy pepper, grassy/hay/earthy funky taste. Interesting and it works nicely.
Mouthfeel: Perfect carbonation and a bitey dry finish.
Drinkability: Very nice saison and not overly powerful at 7%. I can't drink a lot of a saison in one sitting, but this one had me wanting more immediately after finishing the glass.
Serving type: on-tap
