Pours a bright, pale yellow, a little hazy, with a two inch foamy head with good retention and lots of foamy lacing. Aromas of Belgian yeast, grapes, lemon, light malt, wine, black pepper, wheat, Brett, a little funk. Has an herbal aroma, almost minty. Flavors of Belgian yeast, malt, wheat, grapes, lemon, some grapes, some Brett, a little more funk than the nose, oak, some coriander, a little grapefruit as it warms. A little hop bitterness throughout, a flash of sweetness midway. Dry, crisp, smooth, a good light to medium body, well carbonated.
The Nelson Sauvin hops work beautifully with the solid base, lots of flavors and aromas. While not a big fan of heavily hopped saisons, this is really nice. Liked Mosaic better, but this is really enjoyable.
