Pours a bright yellow straw color. Very cloudy throughout. Thick pillowy white head dissipates leaving a thin layer of velvety film on top of the beer. No lacing is left behind.
Smell has notes of grain, yeast, pear, apple, pepper, and some floral hop notes.
Taste has notes of grain and some floral hop notes followed by some light apple, pear and lemon notes. A tad grassy on the finish. The yeast is quite subtle. There is some spice on the back end and lingering into the finish.
Feel is light and drinkable. Mild carbonation. Semi-dry finish.
Overall this is a nice drinkable saison.

Poured from can into shaker, nice 1 finger cream colored head , nice lacing. Hazy golden in the glass. Smells of malt, farmhouse yeast, taste pretty much there, some slight clove, small amount of banana, and some lemon. Finish is spicy and dry. Great saison, GA must be proud

Lyric Ale has a thick, creamy, stark-white head, an opaque, yellow appearance, some lazy bubbles, and fairly significant and heavy glass lacing. Aroma is of lemon and white wheat bread, and the taste is the same, with some spiced bread notes. Forget bitterness or brettanomyces, here. Mouthfeel is medium, and Lyric Ale finishes crisp.

12 oz can poured into a tulip
A- A cloudy golden straw color with a three finger fluffy white head.
S- Light fruit, pears, citrus, peppercorns, some nice Saison yeast, floral.
T- A surprise hint of light fruit tartness/apples, citrus, light fruits, nice malts, floral, hints of peppercorns, just enough yeast.
M- Smooth, light to medium body.
O- A cool looking can with a tasty Saison inside. I did like their Tart Plum Saison a little more, but is is still a well brewed Saison.
