4.08/5  rDev +1%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Appearance: Arrives a hazy amber color with a one finger head; clumps of lacing

Smell: Spicy rye presents with juniper, shortbread and berry phenols

Taste: The rye malt brings a spicy character, with the juniper and shortbread making an early appearance; berry tones emerge, through the middle with some tartness in the mix; a bit of aspirin bitterness in the aftertaste

Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation

Overall: Interesting take on a Saison using Norwegian yeast; subtle, but a lot going on
