Smoggy tangerine colored topped with several inches of whipped white froth. Retention and lacing are very good.
Aromatic of lavender, cotton candy, chalkboards, and lemongrass.
Dry and crackery malt lay across the tongue first. It sweetens some with pear and apple peel notes and general wheatiness, but still leans towards the dry end of the spectrum. Yeast hits with pepper, concrete, and old suede, though the funky Brett characteristics are generally low. Hops are botanical, floral, and bright. Bringing clover, roses, lavender, and lilac, with a brisk petalled bitterness.
Relatively light bodied with a swirling eddies of CO2. Hugely drinkable, this is a solid, authentic feeling Saison that could go toe-to-toe with the finest from the style's motherland.

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.

look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5

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.
