*10/22/2013 375ml bottle poured into a Hill Farmstead oversized wine glass. A~ glowing tangy orange with a gushing head and slight lacing. S~ spicy saison yeast and wine barrel funk up front. Followed by nice citrus and cherry aspects. T~ a lot like Art with a thicker cherryish lambic undertone. Other than that it pretty much follows the nose. spicy pepper saison yeast up front, citrus rushes the palette with darker tart fruits, all followed by amazing funk. As it warms up a lot of oak starts to come out. M~ very well carbonated, just where I like a saison. Smooth and extremely refreshing. O~ I think this will be really amazing with some age. The CD series seems to get better with 6 months to a year of age but no more than that! Overall a very amazing blend as always, here’s to more Civil Disobedience!

Bottle at the brewery, 1/19/17.
Lightly-to-minimally hazy, bright goldenrod-bronze body shows moderate carbonation and an initially medium-sized, white head that recedes slowly to a ring.
A complex mix of light malt sweetness (honey, hints of bread and other light grain), light citrus (oranges, lemon pulp) and what probably were a lot more aggressive acids, comprise the nose, which does a great job of integrating Art and Cantillon. Light acetic notes and plentiful lactic notes certainly show an American sour ale character, but the Cantillon blended in helps soften things considerably and deepen the funk, as well. No alcohol or flaw. Grows fruitier and fruitier as it warms and breathes with light wood emerging and more soft malt.
Honey, soft aceto-lactic character and very fruity brett comprise the flavor, with lots of strawberry, apple, light lime and cherry. It’s boisterous, soft, woody and quite funky with remnants of much heavier/sharper acidity. Seems to really have softened and homogenized as its aged, with no detriments. Tight, soft, natural carbonation and a malty, well-attenuated texture with no alcohol or flaw. Very interesting and glad I got to try it.

375ml bottle for on site consumption at Hill Farmstead. Pours a slightly hazy orange gold. Beautiful foamy head with tiny smooth carbonated bubbles and great lacing. Smells winey, oaky, and sweet, Slight fruitiness. Tastes winey, fruity, oaky, very smooth and acidic with a small tartiness. Big mouthfeel for a sour. Very good. I enjoyed this one.

Opened mar 29 2016. Golden pour, 1 finger of head, small spots of lacing. Tart aroma, farmhouse, citrus, oak, white wine, lactic. Citrus dialed down on the taste, large funk note, oak, brett, underripe stone fruit. Lighter body. Very nice.

375 mL bottle poured into a snifter. Bottled 7/2013. Originally reviewed 4/28/2014. Pale orange. Hazy body. Nice white head. Thick collar. Wine barrel saison is immediately prevalent in the nose. White wine. Oak. A little bit of yogurt lactic aroma. The lambic pushes through in the back. White pepper. Some hay and funk. Lemony acidic aroma. Taste has that same lactic sourness. White wine right up front. Oak and some funky cheese flavors. Grainy malt. A little bit of sweetness in the back. Lingering oaky finish. It isn’t crisp, but it is light. Well carbonated with a pleasant sourness. Superb. I never quite got past the lactic sourness, but nonetheless, I really loved it.

Drank on my birthday last year. From the backlog. Hazy peach pour with a solid frothy head. Earthen funk, blue and brie cheese, peaches, and werthers candy. Very vibrant lactic acidity. Wicked dry. Would slurp all day.

Bottle: Beaming golden color with soft amber at the edges. Hazy, mostly opaque throughout the center with a dense radiance. Foamy, bubbly white head that settles quickly on top. Big time vinous aroma. Huge Pinot Grigio nose; very dry with tons of white grape, oak, soft tannins, slight barnyard must, & a sharp acidity nearing the back-end. Flavor is tart; lots of lemon, under-ripe green apple, sour grapes, loaded with a nice, dry & vinous oak profile running front to back. Mineral water, soft hay, stone fruit skin, white wine, dry oak, & a very mildly acidic finish that never gets overbearing. A touch of funky lychee lingers in the end. Great stuff as always.
