From the brewer
Saison Rue is an unfiltered, bottle conditioned, Belgian/French-style farmhouse ale. This is a beer of subtlety and complexity, with malted rye, spicy, fruity yeast notes, biscuit-like malt backbone and a slight citrus hop character. With age, this beer will dry out and will become more complex with rustic notes of leather and earth from the contribution of a wild yeast strain. Being a saison, Saison Rue is ambiguous unto itself as it is a different beer when fresh and when aged.

2014 release
Vinous with a light spice presence, and surprisingly strong banana-like esters made me think weizen rather than Belgian here. Very drinkable and refreshing!
unknown release
A great basic Saison. Fruity on the palat with a hint of yeastiness (but not so much as to make it funky).
