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
