Batch 196 Saison tasting notes

Cellar temp

Pours bright gold, coarse white head that drops back but hangs at edge, light lacing

Aroma soap-perfume with horsey edge

Mouthfeel moderate body, cleans right up, dry

Flavor big horse blanket, fresh fruit, bitter

Finish crisp bitterness in back, dry

Overall this is fine, maybe a bit too much bittering hops.  Higher temp for fermentation brings out horsey flavor/aroma and a curious soapiness (not in a bad way).  'Goes down easy,' per Paul Wilkie
