Slightly hazy, chestnut-orange color with some suspended yeast. Smell is mostly malt with earthy old wood, slight ginger and wet grass.
Taste has an unexpected toasty malt character, leading up to tropical fruits sweetness. Some orange peel taste comes out after it warms a bit. Soft on the palate w/ good carbonation, a somewhat dry finish. A respectable, albeit atypical saison, worth trying once.
