2.68/5: Doesn't taste remotely rustic like a saison should, and the wintergreen elements add little

Poured from the bottle into a Flying Dog goblet/tulip glass.
Pale bronze body color, and quite clear with minimal amount of carbonation, hardly a few bubbles. Head manages about two fingers before quickly settling down to a thin collar and top. Faint white, shiny, and a bit still on the looks.
Aroma is definitely going on the mint side. Mint herbs, but also a bit of toothpaste like character in flavor. Slight touches of a toasty malt character interestingly as well.
Palate is pretty straightforward if a little boring. First sip is of sharp mint followed by some grassy herbs that doesn't really linger. Minimal malt depth bordering on a wet body. Crisp and tangy finish, but also seems more like an adjunct lager than a saison, with hardly any Belgian sensing flavors. Mint angle goes a little spicy and peppery just a bit.
A decent drinkable beer, but really doesn't taste like a saison.

Pours a very clear golden yellow with decent off white head and some lacing. The Wintergreen comes out in the aroma ahead of the saison yeast and some bread. It is actually a big medicinal which I guess fits the person who they honor with this beer. It is not unpleasant, just odd. Taste is not medicinal. Sweet with the saison yeast standing out. Light mouthfeel, has a touch of wintergreen that lingers but it finishes clean, easy to drink. Drinking a bunch of these to "kill some pain" would not be a struggle. Nice offering overall by Flying Dog (who I should say I am not really a fan of).
The following was pulled from internet as I had to look beer up to enter it.
Flying Dog Dragon Lady honors the work of Dorothea “Dragon Lady” Dix. During the war, she served as the Superintendent of Nurses in the Union army. She was described as being fierce, compassionate, and stubborn; while working tireless to improve the welfare of the patients around her. After the war broke out in 1861, Dix convinced the army to create the first female nursing corps. She was very strict (it IS wartime), earning her the “dragon lady” moniker.
As for Flying Dog Dragon Lady, the base beer is a saison, brewed with wintergreen. The scrub has been used in medicine thanks to its “antirheumatic, antispasmodic, antiseptic and carminative properties”, as well as its ability to kill pain.
