The head just about overflows the glass, crystalline and about as airy as can be, gone in a moment with barely a coating across the surface. Mild haze to it, translucent, bright yellow with a storm of bubbles whipping around. Grainy, yeasty nose, stiff presence without much expansion, peppercorns, pressed flowers and quinine, moderate orchard pit fruit scents. Medium-bodied, foamy enough to distract and likely spread the flavors too thinly. More toastiness in the bread, dough element, however, conversely there’s a noticeable bubblegum thing going on. Lemony, not too bitter but has some bite at the end. Apple, cherry, apricot fruit, good mix of flavors. Overall, a bit clenched and there could be more clarity among the constituent parts. I’m not crazy about it but well made and easy to see it having fans.

A: The beer is a little hazy yellow in color and has a high amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a finger high frothy white head that died down a bit but consistently left a quarter finger high head covering the surface.
S: Moderate aromas of grainy malts are present in the nose along with notes of Belgian yeast and hints of wheat.
T: The taste has flavors of wheat and grainy malts along with notes of spicy yeast.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and a touch dry on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This saison seems to be a little more rustic and complex compared to other beers in the style.

Serving type: can

Can from the brewery in Brooklyn during 2020 COVID pause. Pours a hazy orange gold with two fingers of sticky bubbly white head, smell is spicy sour and grassy candies malts, taste is candied malt sweetness up front that transitions to a grassy sour apple juice that finishes with a slickness that lingers, the taste occasionally seems somewhat astringent/bitter and metallic but becomes more mild and cinnamon spicy as it warms, feel is medium bodied. AN interesting sour grass and rye spice NYS saison.
