6 week old pint can A: Poured a long lasting tall, smooth beige head atop a finely hazed rich medium gold body. S: Light scent of lime and orange; honeysuckle, and toasted bread. T: Bitter orange and lime pith and zest give way to tart citrus pulp and maybe sour cherry that lingers. Malts are woody and creamy. M: Light and softly carbonated with a smooth creamy oat texture. Wet tart finish. O: Very good overall. Clean hops and a little Belgian yeast playing nicely with the oatmeal. A repeat buy for sure.

375mL bottle, undated (boooooo that), from The Turd, drunk 5/11/16.
Large white head tops a muted gold-copper body. Clarity is high and retention is fairly strong.
A very oat-like character emerges in concert with black pepper, biscuit and baked baguette. I dont want to call the oat note glue-like; it’s not, but it’s very odd with a plasticy-powdered sugar character (in all liklihood this is yeast derived and nothing to do w the oats). Hops arent completely faded but its mostly pepper, earth and grass at this point, which is fine.
More of the odd powdered sugar (hint of beet maybe) in the mouth with a good deal of sweetness. The phenols and tight carbonation are the high point here though the beer is perfectly drinkable in spite of its various "oddities". Liked the saison more but Im still curious to try others from them.

On tap at Churchkey. Mefium golden with creamy head. Soft aroma of Belgian yeast and hay. Oats smooth out the taste and body, making for an exceptionally silky mouth feel. Nicely done Belgian ale.

Bottle shared during RBWG 2016. Pours mostly clear gold with a creamy white head. The nose has some Belgian yeast, light dough. Light sweet flavor with some husky bitterness, dry dough, yeast. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly sweet on the finish, some further doughy bread, light honey, husky grains. So so.

Sample at Thirsty Monk. The beer is a hazy orange color with a medium off-white head that recedes steadily. Small patches of lacing on the glass. Aroma of tropical fruit, hops and yeast. Light to medium body with flavors of citrus, earthy hops and yeast. The finish is fruity hops and yeast. Decent overall.
