Mild haze to the solid gold color. Moderate head which settles to rim bubbles. Excellent initial thick lacing which dissipates toward the end of the glass.
A surprising and enchanting smoky aroma to the otherwise pale malt start. No discernible hop presence to the nose.
I say this is closer to a mild Rausch Bier than a Saison with the smokiness throughout the tasting. The paler malt base dominates but not by much. In the third place comes the Saison flavors and distinctive yeast flavoring. Overall, this is a subtle and complex beer. It will be a favorite for those who favor the smoke.
