3.85/5  rDev -0.3%
look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 3.5

12oz bottle purchased at Rozi's Wine House in Lakewood, OH.

Pours a burnished golden hue with a slight chill haze, one finger of eggshell white froth, and several strands of lacing. Head lasts for the duration of the beer.

Smell is rosemary, thyme, cardamom, clove, dandelion (sappy-resiny), fresh cut grass, mineral water, lemon zest, faint mustiness, and flowery-perfumey aromas.

Taste is lemony, grassy, and weedy flavours, very spicy and zesty, bold herbaceous middle with rosemary, thyme, and basil, light floral notes to end.

Mouthfeel is spicy zestiness upfront, crisp and clean palate, spritzy carbonation, big herbaceous middle transitions to a drying finish with fading afters.

Overall, this is a one-of-a-kind beer with extremely strange flavours that somehow work well together. It's a ballsy, out-there saison that pushes the boundaries of the style. But given the calibre of the brewers involved, I guess that's unsurprising.

12oz. bottle: This one pours a hazy, golden color. There wasn’t much of a white head on it, and what was there didn’t linger or leave any lacing. It has a nice aroma. Somewhat musty, with lemon and grapefruit, wheat and some peppery notes. Interesting taste. Some tartness, wheat, spiciness, bit of bitterness, lemon, a touch of yeastiness and breadiness. A very nice Saison. I hope they do it again!

4.21/5  rDev +9.1%
look: 3 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25

No bottled on date. Purchased for $2.99. Poured into a pint glass.

A - Ours a slightly cloudy, straw yellow. Minimal white head, which quickly dissapates. Zero lacing. Well carbonated.

A - Grapefruit and herbal, citrusy

T - Crisp and clean, peppery, hint of citrus, not the typical funk of a saison

MF - Sharp and tingly

O - A refreshing balanced beer that I would buy again.
