Ever so slightly hazy golden body with a very nice, four centimetre tall pure white head that leaves a nice lace on the glass. Aroma of pure grass, hay, spice and yeast - very nice and hugely saison-y with a bit of tropical fruit hoppiness. Medium-bodied; Super assertive grassy, herbal, yeastie and barnyardie flavours with a good dry hop kick near the end, all showing some strong and subdued herbal elements along with a bit of an earthy bite near the end. Aftertaste is all about the funk, grass and especially spice characteristics that come with this one, and the yeast is definitely up there as well. Overall, a nicely layered and aggressively pungent ’saison/IPA’ hybrid that shows some belgian characteristics, but this is about dry notes, herbs, spices and a good yeast strain. I sampled this thirty two ounce growler fill on draught at home in Washington about 13 hours after getting it filled on 15-May-2016 for US$5,30 from Whole Foods in Fair Lakes (Fairfax), Virginia.

Bottle pour at the May 1st DC Tasting. Poured a clear golden yellow color. Aroma was light resin character, juicy fruit notes. A lot more mellow than I expected, resin, sweet tropical fruits - mango, tangerine. Mild booze pours through the finish.

50cl bottle pours a clear gold with some spitty, white head. Nose has tropical fruit, quite floral, some guava/mango, tangerine. Flavor is solid, juicy fruit gum, guava, mango, zippy grass and herbs, a little fresh cream. Solid.

From a bottle at the DC gathering May 1, 2016. Pours a clear pale gold with an off white head. Aroma of pineapple. Flavors of mandarin orange and grapefruit. Bitter finish.
