I assume this beer is very fresh based on the 12/2021 best by date and my overall impression of the beer, including the nice hop profile.
Look: Pours a translucent, slightly hazy, pale gold color. A gorgeous, rocky and uneven, bone white head. Very tell with some lacing as it settles. Some visible carbonation.
Smell: The beer does not jump out of the glass but it’s pleasantly yeast and hop driven. Bubblegum and grassy. Sweet spice. Has a bit of a Belgian Wit aroma going on.
Taste: The taste follows the nose closely with a soft and sweet bubblegum yeast quality up front that shifts mid palate to a grassy and slightly bitter and spicy hop profile. In between some bready and honey sweetness along with a fruity profile including primarily dried apricot.
Feel: Medium to high level of carbonation. Prickly on the palate. Dry, slightly pithy, long lasting finish. Nice feel.
Overall: A nice clean, crisp and refreshing beer with a certain level of complexity that keeps you coming back to the glass for more, from sweet and fruity Belgian yeast profile nicely offset by the a bright hoppy profile. It sort of melds Belgian pale ale and saison, if I had to describe the beer with two styles. I really enjoyed this beer.

My initial review got deleted or didn't post or something...
Anyhow, first off, the name and artwork is delightfully trashy and American-seeming. There's no way a regional US brewer never tried this gimmick, of naming each beer after a different playing card.
Pours dark with a lively head. Smells like ripe fruit, a bit of pleasant mustiness, and some very sharp yeast. Bottle aging has served it well.
Tastes like it smells: wonderful variation, well-aged. Fruit up front, sour in the middle, and then a rustic end with a finish of peppery yeast.
Again proving my theory that most saisons are best served either a little light struck or with a bit of age on them.
