Picked up a 500 ML bottle from the Appalachian VIntner in Asheville 10-28-22 for $8.99. No bottle date; consumed 4-13-23.

Beer poured golden with a very nice long lasting white head.

Nose is very herbal and floral forward.

Taste is a light malt base that is indoctrinated with heavy phenolic compounds including herbal, floral, and peppery notes. Notes of Licorice are very prominent finishes very balanced but with a bit of a piney tone.

Mouthfeel is delightfully light and smooth.

Overall this is a really well executed beer with the adjuncts and yeast strain involved. It is definitely a different animal compared to the baseline Saison style. Took my palate a third of the way through to acclimate and appreciate the ingredients used.
