From the brewer

Inspired by the fields of Provence in southern France, Bière de Provence begins with 2-row wheat and rye malts, and Jarrylo hops. A bounty of herbs, including lavender, bay leaf, marjoram and chervil, gives it a floral and spicy nose. With a hazy golden appearance, Bière de Provence is fermented using a Belgian yeast strain lending to a sweet and malty flavor profile. This summer saison has a smooth finish with a flavor that’s just as complex as it is crisp and refreshing.

Who's been drinking this

Belgianish saison with a hint of hops, some vinous funk, and a smoky herbal character that wasn't super-strong but definitely present. I do think the saison format works a lot better for these savory herbs than the usual IPA combinations I've had in the past.
