Many reviewers have commented that by labeling this as a 'Saison' Revisionist have missed a trick. As a beer it is perfectly drinkable, with a bitter, sweet and sour, sort of flavor. It is, in fact, exceptionally dry, but for me, as a number of other drinkers, this is no bad thing. What it lacks is the complex level upon level of varied flavors that would be expected from a Belgian equivalent, making it seem poor in comparison. This doesn't mean it's bad however, but it fails as a 5.0% beer in ale terms on taste and in lager terms on texture, leaving it without any clear place. I would perhaps, if drinking this again, experiment with a slice of orange or similar, to see if it perked it up and if anyone has tried something along those lines, please do comment and let me know. All in all, I feel forced to give it a 6/10, more because there isn't anything wrong with it than because I particularly like it.
