Classic Belgian yeast character up front (banana, cloves, a touch of bubble gum) that leans toward witbier territory, along with light lemony citrus notes, soft wheat, and an extra dry finish. Very beach and food friendly.

A: The beer is relatively clear yellow in color and has a light to moderate amount of carbonation. It poured with a short bright white head that left a narrow collar around the edge and lots of small specks of bubbles covering the surface.
S: Moderate aromas of Belgian yeast are present in the nose - these have more flavors of cloves than they do of peppery spices.
T: The taste follows the smell and also has additional notes of bananas from the yeast with hints of cloves.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: I found the yeast used in this saison to be quite unique as the taste shared a lot of the qualities you would expect from a hefeweizen with the flavors of bananas and cloves. It is very easy to drink.
Serving type: can

Very good saison. Medium carbonation, head fades quickly. Bready notes are strong and persistent. Great drinkability and really refreshing.
One of the best saison I had so far

The aroma offers banana, clove, bready sweetness, touches of candied lemon.
The flavor offers a dry quality along with that banana, clove, light astringency. Restrained bitterness. Chewy breadiness.
