Enjoyed at FoFA 2019.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Medium bodied. Tart. Wine barrels. Honey.
Aroma is nearly perfect. Everything shines through. Taste is a little less.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Smells of hay, white wine, and stonefruit. Light blonde body with perfect carb. Semi dry. White grape, stonefruit, Brett funk, and crisp apple. Getting more Florence in the blend. Very wine like in flavor.

Fairly crisp and clear orange color. The nose is a clean farm house smell. The taste is a slightly sour saison that takes the bed t d it's base beers. Feel is a little thin and harsh. Overall a fantastic saison that is an extension if the great base beers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Had the first in January 2016, the second in November 2016. Both were phenomenal.

A - Golden, clear and bright, with wispy white head. Fine lacing on the edges.

S - Lemon juice and bright acidity, apple skin and oak, a hint of zest and a touch of funk, horse blanket and grass.

T - Very strong sour line, lemons and limestone. A middle that brings forward the grass and horse blanket notes, hints the wine and oak, then a bit of bitterness joins the sourness in the close.

M - Brisk and clean. Pleasant and quite drinkable. This is one that sits very easily on the tongue despite the full range of flavors.

O - A blend that makes for a bright, sour brew. Incredibly well modulated. In a word, lovely.

Pour is pale golden, slight haze, small amount of white head. Nose is a lot of anna, not much barrel, moderate sweetness, light dustiness, notes of honey and a bit of lemon. Flavor follows suit, bright lemon and notes of honey, a bit of sweetness, faint if any barrel, light dustiness, assertive carb, medium body, oily feel, light bitterness through the finish.
