Refrigerated 375 ml brown bottle, bottled on 8/3/2017 poured into a glass. Hazy golden with medium white head. Aroma is yeasty, medium/light body, medium lively carbonation, some lacing. Taste is yeasty, black pepper, hints of paw paw, and dry finish. I consider this a saison not a fruit beer, disappointing.

375 mL bottle poured, with much thanks to JStax for sending this over. Always fun to try a top 50 beer in a style. Gushing bottle, a golden yellow pour. Thick, active, long lasting head. Citrus fruit like aroma, and quite tart. Surprised this is classified as a fruit beer, and not a wild, based on aroma and flavor combined. Floral and funk flavors up front. A semi juicy fruit secondary. Tart, and a nice level of it. Really impressed with this one.

On tap at the brewery. Hazy golden yellow orange appearance with a thin white head. Aroma has tropical fruit, stone fruit, vanilla, and funk. Wow, great flavor. Tons of tropical fruit, funk, and bubblegum. Crisp dry lingering paw paw finish. Excellent!
