Had on tap at the Kickstarter party.
Light fizzy head, no real lacing, hazy bright lemony yellow color.

Nose quite nice, floral characters, flowery, lemony notes, little grassy, mild saison farmhouse funk, lemony grassy floral hops too blend nicely, with a nice Nelson note.

Taste comes on with a sharp tart lemony rind flavor, bitter spicy chewy hops late, little farmhouse flavor with mild funk and floral spices but drowned by the spicy chewy bitter hops. Mild creamy malt base, a little green berry and some fruity lemony Nelson notes, little pine too. Finish is quite bitter, spicy chewy hops with little briny.

Mouth is med bod, little creamy, decent carb.

Overall it started nice then the hops took over, maybe not the freshest or best supply of hops.

Enjoyed at the brewery

A - Poured into a tulip a nude hazy straw hue with a thin white head that fades to leave a thin head and light side lacing.

S - Aromas of bright Nelson hops, faint wine notes, soft farmhouse funk, light light esters. The hops are pleasant.

T - Taste is not quite as good as the nose. The farmhouse funk really masks the Nelson, which seems to fall flat, the bitter is nice but I've lost the sauvignon notes that made the nose pop so much. The funk is present.

M - Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated, a bit soft, would benefit from being a bit brighter.

O - Overall this beer was rather aromatic on the nose but fell a bit flat on the taste and feel.
