GABF 2013. Recommended to me by 3fourths. Pours a slightly hazy orange appearance with an off white head. Dry, orange citrusy, very herbal/grassy, peppery, barnyard aroma. Easy drinking, spicy peppery, orange citrusy, soft pils malty, a touch bready flavor. Chill beer that I’m glad MJ recommended that I try.

Draft. Cloudy golden brown color, thick white head, solid lacing. Aroma of lemon, raw bread dough, straw and a bit of barnyard. Taste is a bit heavy on the citrus, but is otherwise a pretty decent saison. Nice body. A good start for a new brewery, something a bit more adventurous than usual.

Served on draft at the brewery. Pours a hazy vibrant orange color with a large frothy off-white head. Good head retention. Aroma of citrus hops, honey and pale malts. The taste is pale malts, honey, candi sugar and stone fruits. Medium bodied.
