Sante Adairius Rustic Ales Foudre #2 Saison at 6.5% ABV (US$16.55 at Sante Adairius Rustic Ales, 750 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 21-Jun-2017, reviewed 20-Aug-2017)
Appearance: hazy medium gold with a short, short-lived white head, no lacing. (3/5) Aroma: lacto sour, apples, grainy pale malt, stone fruit, lemon. (8/10) Taste: moderate-high tart, moderate sweet, low bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate-high carbonation, dry tart finish. (4/5)
Similar to, but not quite as good as, their Hoeybier: a shade sweeter, more apple than stone fruit, and not as vinous. I guess to be fair, it’s also a shade less expensive as well, so there’s that. Good, sure, but I can think of a great many better ways to spend $16USD. (15/20)
