when I first poured this beer, I double-checked the bottle to ensure I didn't accidentally buy a sour.
Poured a 11.5oz from a 1 pt 6 oz bottle. No bottled on date. The label read 2017 and aged 6 months, so the beer was, at very most, 6 months bottled.
Look: A nice mildly hazy, bright orange/amber with a persistent but thin bright white head. Reminiscent of the pour of a West Coast IPA.
Smell: Disappointing. Lemon, fruit juice. Pretty strong fructose and not much else in the nose.
Taste: Immediate undeniable strong overtones of sour, acidic fruit. Lemon, fructose, and mild spices. Sourness fades into sweet, saison-style licorice sweetness and a yeasty, bubblegum-flavored malt.
Feel: Sour, caustic, and acidic. Feels like a fruit juice. Strongly carbonated. Heavy mouth-dryness accompanies this brew.
Overall: This was not a very good saison. It was much closer to a strong soured with some malty backbone. I wouldn't advise it, but nobody should ever drink this in the winter. It is cold outside and I committed the fatal error of drinking out of season.

From a growler shared by a friend. Sampled on June 27, 2015.
Golden moderately heady pour. A lot of carbonation bubbles. But it did ride from New Jersey to New Hampshire in the trunk of my friend's car.
Grainy, toasted Belgian malt sweetness, yeast, and a hint of pepper and spice.
Medium to full body.
The pepper spice is what I remember the most about this beer and the way in intermingled with the Belgian sweet malts and yeast in the taste.
