The Big Friendly Oblique & Bent
What the brewers say
“Petite saison.”
What our panel thought
“Funky aroma of barnyard, horse sweat, and straw with a little freshly emptied wine barrel. Beautiful taste profile of white-grape juice, chalky calcium, mussed straw bale. Just enough bitterness.”
What our editors thought
“Familiar amalgam of herbal-hop, soft grain, lemon/lime-peel funk. Lively and dry on the palate, with a smooth, restrained bitterness and a slight acidic tang. Carbonation and slight acidity bring structure and lift. Showcases restraint and balance.”
