Snagged a bottle of this for $2.59 at vintage Estate about a month ago. Into a pint glass.
A - A pretty dark shade of amber orange clear with a solid 1/4 inch of head that makes for great lacing.
S - Smell is pretty good some funk, some lemon, maybe wheat? Can't pick out anything else but it does smell Saison Like. Very flowery.
T - A very smooth yet simply a basic Saison. I get some malt, mild if any yeast (which I am a fan of) and some grainy hibiscus flavors. The botanical's I must admit make for one smooth brew.
M - Light to medium its very easy to drink with smooth flowery stuffs.

Overall it's an interesting take on the style but nothing I want to run to Ohio for another bottle for. Still a decent experimental.

 

 

 

 

 

Pours a hazy orange with a foamy bone head that settles to wisps of film on top of the beer. Small streaks of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, grain, earth, rose petal, fruit, and slight lemongrass aromas. Taste is much the same with slightly sour malt, earth, rose, and hibiscus flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of earth bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer with a nice mixture of earthy, floral, and fruit qualities in the aroma and flavor.
