Review from notes. Enjoyed for under $4 CDN at the high of tax season.
Appearance - Dark ruby colored brew, with no lacing and slightly hazy throughout.
Smell - Blackberry mostly, possibly some other fruit like raspberries and currants, but nailed the blackberries.
Taste - Blackberry through and through, fairly sweet but balanced. Not really finding this a saison (Belgian yeast, dry finish, some funkiness) but it's still tasty.
Mouthfeel - Smooth, medium bodied and with fairly low carbonation.
Overall - Not really sure if this qualifies as a saison, but it is pretty tasty. Worth a try if you see it, especially if you're a big fan of blackberries.

Pours a raspberry/Blackberry red with an aggressive three finger head that breaks slowly leaving islands of foam and ample lacing.
Smell is funky barnyard, with elements of the blackberry present.
Much of the nose translates to flavor, but it is dull and the blackberry fades.
Feel is light with aggressive carbonation. finish is dry and fruity.
Not bad. I am actually pretty impressed with this one. I'd have it again.

Pours dark reddish orange with a generous head. Aromas of spice and fruit typical of a well balanced Sason - the blackberry appears in the mouth and is beautifully balanced. I may try to work with this idea myself.
