-clear, golden tap pour with a 1 cm foam cap and a faint Brett aroma.
The flavor is light with lemon, a tart note, some grassiness and some Brett funk.
A drier finish would be an improvement.
-definitely has Belgian saison elements.

On-tap @ Astoria Bier & Cheese in Astoria, NY.
Horribly mislabeled as a Saison, this beer is almost certainly a Berliner Weisse. Pale gold/straw colored. Hazy and opaque. Aboslutely zero head on it and very low carbonation. Bright floral and citrus aroma. Fruity, bright flavor with lemon and berries coming through the most. Very tart but not overly sour. It will make you pucker, but only briefly. Medium-light bodied, tart and dry in the finish.
The beer was labeled as a Saison on the menu and it definitely was not. Even given the the broad interpretation of what a Saison can be, this is a sour beer and most likely a Berliner Weisse. Not a bad beer but nothing special about it at all.
