This is 2016 batch just now being opened. Pours a very cloudy amber color with a thin foamy head. Head retention is virtually non-existent. Lacing is mild. Definite hay like spices with white grapes. Oaky. Fairly smooth taste. Definite white grapes in the taste. Okay and hay spiciness again. Light bodied with mild carbonation. Not as bad as I expected.

2016 bottle
A: Pours a nice clear gold with a small and very fizzy off-white head. Head dissipates very quickly leaving no lacing or head retention of any kind.
S: Certainly smells like a nice dry white wine. Quite a bit of citrus in there as well.
T: Lots of white wine up front. Very citrusy white wine. Strong citrus carries through to the middle and finish, with a grainy malt backing, light grass and hints of belgian spices. Finish is MORE white wine, decently spiced now. Mildly sweet to boot, especially in the aftertaste.
M: I don't know what the ABV on this is (it isn't listed on the bottle or BA for that matter) but it feels heavy as hell for a saison. I think the low carbonation and wine characteristics contribute heavily here (no pun intended).
O: White wine and saisons just seem to go together. Big citrusy saison, just the kind I like. Enjoyable.

Interesting beer. Definitely get the spice and whine barrel character. It's like a sit on steroids. This is a sipper and probably better to share than drink by yourself like I did. A little goes a long way. Worth a try, especially if you like wits and hefeweizens.

Not a big fan of this, no Belgian esters, has an apple cider taste to it that lingers

5 oz taster pour in the taproom on 8/1/16, this is a new batch. Hard to judge head from this size glass, crystal clear yellow color. Vinous, woody nose with Belgian yeast overtones. Crisp flavors with the wine barrel really shining through and complementing the base beer. Medium body and above average carbonation.

From notes 30 June 2013. 22 oz bottle brought as BYOB to "Blacksmith by Night" featuring Mala Sichuan Bistro; poured into glass tumblers. Hazy amber gold with good frothy white head and lace. Yeasty bread, fruit, wet straw and light oak on the nose. Nice tart and funk notes balance the sweeter saison base. Light body and moderate carbonation. Some interesting wine notes improve the Barn Burner base. Sour, sweet and refreshing profile goes well with the spicy, numbing Sichuan dishes served.

004: 8/10/13 - 22 ounce bottle poured into a 12 ounce tulip.
Just pure diacetyl. The smell and taste both remind me of going to see movies at the AMC 30 when I was a kid. Remember when you could get a whole cup of popcorn butter and pour it over whatever you were eating? Think about how nasty that is. That's freaking nasty.
