On tap at Ninkasi, la Guillotière, Lyon, France. This a "saison" brew meaning the beer of the moment, not a saison style ale.

L - Clear amber with little head that doesn't last

S - Oaky and a bit smoked. It smells like a nice scotch

T - Follow the smell. The oak presence is nice, nothing overwhelming. A certain malt sweetness is present and a sharp hop bitterness

F - Smooth like hell

O - A very well craft beer. It doesn't lack much for being a great beer
