It just tastes blandish to me. Most of the saisons I've had this year have been great. They usully are dry, with some tartness, and some flavor. This one fell short of my expectations though.

It does have a tad more residual sugar than a "traditional" saison, but kudos to them for making a 4.8% beer and not following the "double imperial" route of so many other breweries.
