I sampled Actual Brewing's Saison du Poincare late in 2015 at their taproom near the Greater Columbus International Airport. Sadly, it looks like this beer may no longer be available... so consider this review a recording for posterity as to how good it was. (I'm basing this on the fact that it's not listed on their web site.)
Actual describes this as "a dark saison, brewed with everything we had left in the 'cabinet' at the end of the brewing season." I think they're being a bit modest with that description.
Saison du Poincare pours a hazy amber with white head that lingers and leaves no lacing.
The aroma has the typical Saison funk to it with some fruity notes. I get a bit of tartness as well.
The flavor starts with a mix of sweet malt, citrus, and Saison funk. Hops bitterness is well balanced, which is what I look for in a Saison. Hop-forward saisons don't work for me.
