Day 13 of the 2018 Advent Calendar.
The color is golden, then showing its chill haze and becoming opaque. Little head remains.
The aroma is everything I want from a saison. Yeasty. Spicy. Esters.
The flavor does not disappoint. Well rounded and with the citrus fruit notes combining with those clove highlights.
The cool label doesn't hurt the case, either. One of the better offerings this year.

330ml bottle - day 13 of the 2018 Craft Beer Advent Calendar. A strong Saison, with a particularly curious name for a brewery located in Germany.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, medium golden yellow colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, finely foamy, and mildly bubbly off-white head, which leaves a few instances of pitted grotto profile lace around the glass as it slowly seeps away.
It smells of gritty and grainy pale malt, plain Ritz crackers, some estery yeastiness, and very faint earthy, musty, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, buttered breakfast biscuits, faded yeast, overripe bananas, and more well-understated leafy, musty, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly restrained in its palate-satiating frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and mostly smooth, with nothing really a cause for concern at this point in the game. It finishes off-dry, the malt pretty much running the lingering table.
Overall - this comes across as a well-made version of the style, nice and malty, with the typical fruit and spice essences kept on the down low. Not to mention the 16-proof dose of alcohol, which is nowhere to be seen, at least not yet. Good stuff - that is if a Belgian brew made by someone called 'Yankee & Kraut' doesn't drudge up too much historical irony for you.
