3.95/5  rDev -5.7%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4
Appearance-
A deep, deep golden with a nice two finger white head.

Smell-
Every bit the saison with the peppery herbal aroma, complimented by citra hops.

Taste-
Follows nose, but more lemon shining through. Unfortunately, the citra hops are more demure than what I was hoping for.

Mouthfeel-
Refreshingly crisp, and dissipates quickly away from the palette.

Overall-
Glad I had a chance to try it, makes me wish I was sitting out in a field enjoying nature.

I had this on cask at Max's during Baltimore Beer Week. Served in a sample glass.

Appearance: Pours a cloudy orangish yellow with a layer of white head that disappears quickly.

Smell: Very herbal, lots of sage. Fresh grassy hops blend with the herbs and smell really good.

Taste: The hops cut the sage, which is a really good thing here. Tastes very fresh with grassy, citrus hops. The sage only adds to the goodness. Very easy to drink.

Mouthfeel: Medium body with mildly tingly carbonation and a dry finish.

Overall: I enjoyed this a lot more than the original. The hops cit the sage a bit and the flavors blend wonderfully.
