What Our Panel Thought

Aroma: “Lots of light fruity aromas, especially lemon, backed by wheat character. Berliner-like, but with more flavor and character. Funky barnyard hay.”

Flavor: “Lemon tartness and wheat notes followed by moderate barnyard funk. Finishes with lots of light sweet fruit flavors. Has a hint of sour on the back end.”

Overall: “Well-balanced, tart, modern American interpretation of a tart saison. Wheat character is appropriate and enjoyable. High carbonation adds to the liveliness. Very light and refreshing.”

What the Brewers Say

“Foeder-fermented, acid-forward, American-inspired saison.”
