I tried this on tap at Irv's in Hershey served chilled in a pint.
The color is a hazed gold with thin white head with spotty lace. The smell has funky and light sulfur with mild spice and mostly yeast dominated aroma with slight phenolic odor. The feel is light fruity and tangy with moderate spiced texture and medium high carbonation with a low bitterness level and mostly dry finish.
The taste is good with light yeasty entry with gentle banana in the taste and low malt flavor with slight tropical fruit tanginess and gentle spice in the finish. This is an okay beer but not the best saison as far as what the yeast profile contributes it does have the tropical notes of the ingredients mentioned though

Tasted like worm water... I have before and didn't think it was that bad. Not sure what's happening here?
