750ml bottle, Batch #1, poured into a Sante Adairius snifter glass. Enjoyed on 06.09.2018, reviewed from Tasting Journal.

The beer pours a bright copper color, cloudy with reddish orange hues and a fizzy white head that has no retention and minimal lace. The aroma is very good, classic Sante house funk, very fruity and floral with cereal grains, strong cherry fruit with a nice wine barrel character, vinous with nice oak and a great buggy bacterial profile. The flavors are good, great saison base, nice grains, Sante house cultures, very floral and yeasty with a great barrel character that really brings out the cherry that's tart and fresh. The mouthfeel is good, coating medium body that is lively and crisp with a tart and dry finish.

Verdict: A very nice fruited wild saison from Sante Adairius. Bright, balanced, buggy and funky with a great barrel character. Lovely beer.

Huge thanks to yourefragile for sharing. Transparent pale yellow / orange body with a small head. Aromas of white wine, oak, lacto, funk, earth, cherry. It actually took me a minute to get the cherry character, but it's there, emerging more as the beer is allowed to open up. Delicious. Spritzy carbonation with a light, but not thin, body. Elegantly crafted and balanced. Well done.

Pour is clear light pink with a tight white head. Nose has a fair bit of heat and plastic, a good bit of leather brett, moderately strong cherry aroma. Flavor has a hint of the plastic, but less. More robust sour cherry flavor, fairly ripe, brett is a bit lighter, still fairly leather and dusty. Moderate carb, more body than I expected, very dry finish.
