As expected, a saison brewed with oranges. However, due to the subtle nature I do not believe it qualifies as a fruit beer.

Nice yellow color, with a thin ring of head in the glass.

Aroma was as expected - oranges at the fore, then some floral notes and a bit of sweetness. Others at my table said they got honey in there... I didn't but there you go, different interpretations.

Taste was of citrus and a little bit of hops, just a tad bitter. Oranges did not come out, it must have blended with the other citrus notes.

Mouthfeel was about what one would expect from a saison, light and clean

Overall an OK beer, but not one I would try again given the other choices on hand.
