32 oz. crowler. Very clear golden body. Smell is lots of orange and citrus. A little bit of yeasty esters. Doughy sweet smelling malts. Taste still has lots of citrus, but there's more of the saison flavors. Strong yeastiness. Moderate sweetness and an aggressive bitterness. Medium body. I remember having this when Civil Society first opened and thinking it was decent. This, as have many of there beers, has improved quite a bit.

not a big fan of saisons but this one is hopped up and has really nice nose. The belgian yeast compliments the hops and estery flavors that i usually dont like from belgian beers and really makes this a drinkable one!

 

This beer surprised me because I wasn't expecting a fairly new brewery to deliver a unique, flavorful, very drinkable saison. The unique part is that the hop bill (3 different hops) is definitely adding a little bite, but it is smoothed out by a subtle sweetness that works very well. I feel that this recipe must have been tweaked many times until they finally nailed it. I don't claim to be a saison expert since it is not my favorite style but this beer is damn good!
