What Our Editors Thought
“Woody floral aroma with a fresh edge. Bitter citrus in the sip, with more woody tannic dryness. Direct and unflinching in its Brett-forward approach. Raw and unrefined.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Notable tangerine notes in the aroma. Otherwise, not a lot of saison complexity. Semisweet malt aroma, slight hay-like hop notes. The flavor is bready, medium-sweet malt. Some fruit esters and a finish of fresh hay. Soft, smooth, light hop bitterness. A malt-focused saison.”
What the Brewers Say
“Raw ale leaning heavily on spelt, fermented with weizen yeast and blend of Brett.”
