Belgian-inspired Saison made with TN grown Pilsner malt and Munich Rye from Riverbend Malt House. A blend of citrus fruit, bubblegum and spice on the nose finishes with a hefty blend of allspice, pepper, and clove courtesy of the Rye malt and house Saison yeast.

No date on can, into a Barrique pils glass (unsure on glassware for the style).
Pours a rich light amber with some white foam, clear with tons of bubbles on the side of the glass. Aroma is faint Munich malt, a really rich, spicy nuttiness, and a little light brown sugar. Oddly, smells like an exceptional Maerzen. Flavor is completely different. It has a classic Belgian white pepper ester profile, alongside some really spice-forward malt flavors (the rye). It's quite sharp, almost sour, which is really interesting because it's a clean Saison, and it's not like a wild or kettle sour idea, the malts are just that weird. Good herbalness from the hops as well and the finish is nice and crisp. Feel is good, it's still lower-bodied despite the ABV and is easy drinking, but there's a lot of carbonation which helps with the overall bitterness.
This has got to be one of the weirdest local beers I've drank. It's spicy, sour, and rich, and feels like it's doing exactly what it's supposed to do. Rye saison doesn't seem to be a popular style, and I can see why: this beer is quite strange. I like it a lot though; it's got a ton of character and complexity up front, with a clean, dry finish that makes it enjoyable.
