Enjoyed in a DFH Pint glass

A: pours an extremely hazy golden color with a nice amount of carbonation bubbles and a two finger head which is pure white and very fluffy, it lingers nicely enough but dissipates at a rather noticeable pace before leaving a very nice amount of spiderweb-like lacing on the glass
S: this one threw me off right from the get go, the scents were incredibly familiar and reminded me of the vegetable garden we've always had at my house during the summer, i cant really place it but i might smell like the soil or the tomato plants, not sure, im also quite positive im getting a whiff of marijuana which i don't oppose, overall it is incredibly earthy and herbal, ive figured out that the scent is what i would compare to oregano
T: well you can definitely taste what i would call oregano up front then moves in a nice lemony sweetness which evens it out quite beautifully, the spiciness comes back in on the tail end and lingers nicely on the palate
M: smooth, slightly thick, low carbonation tingle, leaves the mouth with a distinct dryness
O: this is a highly drinkable brew and really stands out as a taste in a saison that i have yet to see, often times i find them incredibly peppery and have yet to find the more herbal spices i saw in this one

A- Light golden body slightly hazed with a bit of yeast particulate. Hge white head and a nice stream of carbonation bubbles.

A- Spiciness, ginger? Yeasty spicy aroma. Lemon funk.

T- Wow. Sage flavor, less ginger than I smelled. Very similar to the aroma. Herbal flavors. Light pale malt flavor. Finishes a bit bitter on the tongue, with a light funk, and pepper.

M- Smooth medium body. Very refreshing carbonation.

D- Not what I expected at all, better! The aroma and flavor are so complex, but incredibly refreshing. I just hope I can hunt down another bottle. This is the first beer to really excite me in a while.
