Clove with a little funk. Spritzy and tasty. How a saison should be. Very happy nice lacing.
Can from lizardville Westerville. Nose is alcohol and clove and pepper. Body is dry and thinner. Seems like a bit of a cross between a white ale and farmhouse ale. Not amazing and would keep looking.
(Can) Hazy dark yellow body with a small-medium white head that slowly disappears. Aroma has lots of citrus and tropical fruit (pineapple, grapefruit) and yeast; some bread and earthy notes. Light bodied, some light carbonation. Flavor is bright and acidic with citrus; pineapple, grapefruit.
22oz bottle pours out golden topped with a white head. Nose is yeast forward light fruit pepper and perfume. Taste is more of the nice yeast notes spice and floral.
There is a suspension of large sediment particles, but the matrix around them is fairly clear. Nice bretty funky smell. Taste is delicate and bretty, dry yeastiness coats the tongue. Medium body, mildly bitter aftertaste, euro grassy hop, yummy, balanced, and crafty saison.
$2.75 pint can from Wine Warehouse. Pours slight hazy pale gold with a large white head. Aroma immediately upon opening can: very fruity (and very pleasant) including stone fruit juice and citrus peel. Flavor is yeasty fruit, mostly bitter peach, a bit of straw, light barnyard, light gum. This is pretty damn good.
nice caramel and heavier malted barley component. sweet malted cereal powerful and satisfying. a bit yeasty i suppose. from the can. a bit of fruit can be discerned in the pattern.
Can for $2.75. Hazy orange yellow pour. Pleasant citrus and stone fruit aroma. Flavor is slightly bitter with citrus, stone fruit, and sugar. Smooth almost silky mouthfeel.
On tap @Ma che siete venuti a fà (Rome ). Dorata velata, schiuma bianca medio-leggera. Al naso note di lieviti, terrosa, leggero citrico. In bocca è sgraziata, con sentori di verdura cotta e lieviti. Corpo medio, carbonazione medio-leggera. No.
On tap @Ma Che Siete (Rome). Semi clear golden bright, frothy irregular white foam. Nose: lime, spicy, highlights of esters and a punch of brewing leftovers. Mouth: light body, sweet fruity a bit, inconsistent a bit. Just solid.
Tasty Saison from Stillwater, with a hefty malt center for the style and a dry, well-rounded finish. Grassy and semisweet on the front end, a mild tart undertone backing up notes of straw and clove, a slight buttered vanilla current developing behind the usual saison flavors. Grows floral on the back end, hints of bread lying underneath a firm bitterness. Proper saison nose, cloves and hay and fresh cut flowers, and the pour’s good as well, a slightly hazed gold with a modest head and moderate lace. Texture’s creamy for the style, not quite as effervescent as it should be but still tempting. Solid pint.
Tall can from Liberty Beer in Pittsburgh. A bit strong on first impression and over done on sweetness. Has a nice spice bite.
Can from Merchants. Aroma is tart, fruity, estery, barnyard, slight funk, slight tart, good. Appearance is dark golden, light tan head, hazy. Taste is fruity, bitter, tart, decently hoppy, pine, citrus, malt, slight funk, barnyard, slight spice, good. Mouthfeel is light to medium body, light carbonation, hoppy estery aftertaste. Overall, it’s quite enjoyable.
Pour is light orange, on the darker side for a saison. White head, good lacing. Great apple, apricot, fruity yeasty nose. Very dry, mineral, light on the palate. Minmal to no spice. Good saison, but nothing special.
Kinda mineraly, peach notes in the middle, bitter finish. Not bad, but not great either. I’m continually unimpressed by Stillwater.
KeyKeg (TCBW2017)
Thinnish light malts in the aroma, fruity - apple - and fairly sweet. Clear pale orange, tight head settles to a ring. Starchy malty taste, sweet and fruity. Fairly fullish palate, decent carbonation, but is a bit watery. A bit boring, a kinda drinkable saison, I guess.

Bright gold color, medium white head with messy lacing. Aroma and flavor have nice grassy, yeasty characteristics. Rich flavor, not too funky, but tastes good.
