On tap at Beer Temple. Described on the menu as the 2018 rendition "from this year's foraged yeast cultures."
I take this to mean that the yeast can vary from year to year.
I found this a pretty saison, nice head and clearer than most. Smells were fruity and earthy. Tastes were similar, but the hops appeared sharply to the point that this might not be a food-friendly saison for me. However, Solaire was refreshing.

My first from Forest & Main, I see that they have some 400+ beers on BA. Very prolific. I went on F&M's website and was impressed by their dedication to providing great beers to their Philly suburb... so I'm glad I could sample.
