3.35/5 rDev -14.8%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.25
Pale yellow with a greenish hue, definite haze and thin finger of white head -- like a Berliner Weisse with some woodruff added. Dry aroma. Metallic, herbal taste with a flash of malt sweetness beneath that quickly becomes dry in the aftertaste. No real saison yeast character to speak of. Light bodied. My first from Oxbow, and I was disappointed.

look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.25
On-tap 4/9/2017 at Natty Greene’s Tavern in North Attleboro, MA, served in a tulip glass.
A: The beer is a bright gold color, with a short off-white head that fades slowly and leaves a thick lace on the glass.
S: The aroma contains wheat, bananas, Belgian yeast and caramelized malts.
T: The taste starts out bready with flavors of wheat, Belgian yeast and a hearty but not too heavy malt character. Then some sweet flavors of bananas, caramel and citrus. The hops presence is very mild but complementary and brings a very good balance. The after-taste is slightly bready and slightly sweet.
M: Crisp and very smooth, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is clean.
O: Very tasty, goes down quite easily, not too filling, mild kick, good representation of style, this is a very solid beer to drink for a long time.

On tap at Oxbow in Portland. Hazy yellow body. Smells of pilsner malt. Light fruity yeastiness. Tastes strongly of pilsner malt that even adds a touch of sweetness. Peppery and grassy hops. Light body. Soft carbonation. Simple and incredibly well done.
