Weirding Way
Our Mutual Friend Malt & Brew

Alright, so I screwed this up, had the version in the clear bottle with cherries reviewed under this listing. Got it swapped, now doing the OG Weirding Way review. Both are still the 1st and only reviews of these beers on BA as far as I can tell.

Pours the usual bright yellow color hitting that saison stride nicely alongside a 1" head. So a good appearance. The aroma is nice and rustic, slightly like that comfort hamster beer that isn't a saison, but you know, rusticism. Hay, lemon, french oak like woody impression. Smells evocative of an agricultural existence.

Mouth feel hits the light body notes while pushing plenty of flavor. This is what good saisons do. Doesn't rely on in your face levels of wild ale sourness or overloaded fruitiness. Pretty cool to see what the base beer was like before they dropped awesome balaton cherries on it.

The only downside for me on this version was the higher abv. The balaton did better covering it. I generally don't dig on imperialized styles. This wasn't too far askew though.
