Appearance - Pours a clear topaz with two fingers of bubbly white head that dissipates quickly.
Smell - Belgian-like yeast, fruity esters, spicy and earthy hops, spices (mainly black pepper but some clove), citrus fruit, bready pale malts.
Taste - Very much like the aromas suggest, a good balance of fruity esters, yeast, spicy hops, spices, citrus and malts. Fruity esters more up front, then transforms into light bitter hops and leaves off with bready malts.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation with a dry finish.
Overall - Refreshing and bright, this saison is highly sessionable and brings forward all the traditional flavours. I tend to like the spices on my saisons a little more amped up, but I think the balance is right overall. Another favourite from Postmark.

650ml bottle - 'Light | Dry | Vivid' - at least they got three whole words spelled correctly with this one (and more than any local beer aficionados seem capable of proffering thus far)!
This beer pours a clear, bright medium golden yellow colour, with one fat finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and somewhat bubbly off-white head, which leaves little beyond a few wayward specks of dotted lace around the glass as it quickly evaporates.
It smells of grainy and bready pale malt, a touch of gritty wheatiness, very rustic Belgian (ok, sorry, 'French') yeast, muddled domestic citrus, faint white pepper and clove spice, and weak leafy, herbal, and floral hop bitters. The taste is more bready and crackery pale malt, a receding edgy wheat character, muffled phenolic yeast, an ephemeral orchard fruitiness, mixed table-top pepper mill output, and a still hard to love grassy and dried hay hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite active in its assertive and roundabout frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and mostly smooth, even the yeast taking a minor holiday here to keep things 'a chugging along, it would seem. It finishes off-dry, the mixed pale and wheat malt doing well to linger, amongst the fallen remains of yeast, fruit, and wan hop alike.
Well, I gotta say, if this Saison was set upon my particular table, I'd welcome it at first, before quickly tiring of it, for some really hard to explain reason - I dunno, maybe it's the not quite sure of itself yeast, or maybe the general pithiness. Whatever the matter, time for some rethink at the ol' brewery think-tank, methinks!
