Had on tap at Local 44 in West Philadelphia. Saison De Lente is a very a pleasant spring beer. If was a cloudy pale straw yellow with fluffy white meringue-like head atop the beer. The beer smelled zesty with lemony notes, mowed grass and fruity yeast. The beer tasted spicy like clove, cinnamon, and cardamom. Next came a bitter acidity like a just squeezed lime this fresh flavor cut right through the grainy sweetness nd spice. The finish was dry with a little malty doughiness and a firm herbal bittering. This is very tasty with good balance and nice strong flavors

Bottle from Total Wine in Tampa. From notes.

A - Poured cloudy dark orange. Yeast chunks floating around in the body. Fluffy 2 finger white head with great retention at a full finger and great chunks of lace.

S - Strong Brett. Some orange, hops, and wheat.

T - Bretty again with sweet spice and a little hop.

M - Good carbonation, medium body. Brett yeast and wheaty finish.

O/D - A neat saison. Good Brett element. Easy to drink and tasty. I expected a bit more, but enjoyed it nonetheless. Brett didn't dominate and was a nice compliment.

Appearance: It has a nice hazy golden/yellow color to it. It has a nice off-white head that dies down moderately and leaves some lacing.

Smell: The aromas definitely give out hints of Belgian yeast, lemon, citrus, peppery spices and some grassiness.

Taste: Like the aromas, it has some lemon, a nice grassiness, a slight earthiness, light citrus, peppery spices, and Belgian yeast.

Mouthfeel: It has a medium carbonation with a very nice overall balance and feel.

Drinkability: It's a very smooth drinkable beer accompanied with great flavors and aromas.
