On tap at brewery:
Billed as a biere de miel - brewed with honey.
Darker than many saisons, more amber. Head is decent but not explosive, and the feel is a bit heavy and not as effervescent as expected.
On the good side, however, the nose has a lightly sweet but definitively farmhouse aspect to it - honey saison indeed. The combo is richly earthy.
Taste has an opening sweetness than a tang I have gotten in other honey-added beers. The tang fades to a light funk, and a wooden aspect comes as a hay-like aspect lingers in the background.
Overall, the dryness is fair, but there's a high note of that tang lingering, almost like the beer is taking two distinctly different routes on my palate and it realizes it.
Struggled a tad with this, I look at it in one way, it's sorta dry and has some interesting notes. Then I turn it over and it's a tad sweet and a little flat. But then, ignoring analysis, I am digging drinking it. I think that deserves a plus.
