This was a fantastic fruited saison. If this had side project on the label the ratings would explode. Dark ruby with an off-white ring. Smell has those vibrant raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries, but they are not allowed to run amuck sweetening the aromas, because they are met and enhanced by funk, oak, flowers, slight minerals, and hints of apple and pear. Taste is not as complex, with the funk leading stronger with the wild yeast and berries, flowers, earth, minerals, wood all present by in the background. Finishes tart that lingers in the berries and funk. Lighter but not bright, slightly tart, funky, more dry than wet, slight earthy in the base with the fruits, and delicate.
