12 oz bottle from Hop City, Atlanta, GA. $2.99 I *think*.

Nice looking pour with a very attractive golden color and plenty of head. Some retention, a little lace. Solid looking.

The aroma gives a little white pepper and a few sinus clearing elements, but nothing out of the ordinary for a Saison. HOWEVER, this does not set me up for the taste!

The taste is a garlic laden, herbal assault that is difficult to get to grips with. It’s abusive up front, but fades a bit as the beer warms. Nevertheless there is very little subtlety here. Perhaps this is the point of the beer I dunno, but it still makes it hard work.

Green elements, almost reminiscent of chewing on some floral hops are followed by a bitter, unrelenting, aggressive finish and aftertaste.The beer constantly recalls accidentally chewing on a cardamon seed in a great curry, or perhaps getting a mouthful of rosemary that was not properly integrated into a great lamb dish.

Extreme, and not not necessarily in a really good way. Barely even beer in the truest sense of the word.

I think this is a classic example of American brewing going awry. Stupid beer, flawed concept, difficult to drink, no point.
