Can - Big fruity citrus and tropical hops with some peppery notes. Clear yellow gold with a rich white head. Citrus and some light grass, pepper and dry and bitter finish. Explosive nose, but flavor falls a bit flat. Rice notes don’t really show up either.

Can, thanks for sharing! Pours a hazy light yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has lots of grass and earthy citrus and a decent amount of dryness. Flavor starts with grass and earthy citrus but finish is straw and dry grass.

Draught at Canary Square, 10/31/16.
High clarity in this flaxen-golden body with a small, off-white head showing moderate to low retention.
Lemme tell you, this thing was served in a packed bar out of a shaker and I’ll be damned if it didn’t have one hell of an aroma. Canteloupe, pepper, vanilla, honey and a lovely tangerine-nectarine hop character with lemon, spice and earthy, grainy rice and malt notes lingering. Very amazing aroma indeed, for its size and no alcohol or flaw.
Earthy, lightly cereal-like grains in the mouth provide melon, vanilla, cornmeal and rice notes as the soft, fuzzy, tangerine and nectarine-like hop notes tickle the senses in concert with light, but fine carbonation. Soft honey, biscuits and tons of melon, lime and tangerine juiciness lingering with light phenolics and minerality.

Can from Old Town. Light brett and lemon pith on the nose. Super dry on the palate almost with a raspy character. Faint lemon zest and touch of dried unsweetened green pineapple. Very dry finish with some scratchy malt. --- Beer merged from original tick of Stillwater Extra Dry on 31 Oct 2016 at 20:47 - Score: 7. Original review text: Light Brett and lemon pith on the nose.

$3 pint can from Wine Warehouse. Apparently I haven’t had enough alcohol this week because this is day #6 of being semi-sick. Pours hazy yellow with a large white head. Aroma of lemon, egg farts, yeast. Taste is interesting... and smooth. Lemon zest, fried egg whites, pepper, citrus hops. Tangy, I wanna say zippy, but I’m not 100% convinced it’s a formal word. Maybe it is, I suppose I should know, OK, let’s say it is. This is zippy. Edited to add: And look at that - rating right below me says zippy too... completely independent of my review so this beer must be zippy. And it’s a real word. Edited again: I let it warm and the flavors began to stand out and I enjoyed the beer more. Giving it a +1 to taste and +1 to overall.

Draft at Rustico Alexandria. Poured a very lightly hazy golden color with a small white head. Aroma was light zesty citrus, light rice water, malt. Crisp notes, some very mild grain notes. Okay.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 5/16/2016. Pours slightly hazy golden straw color with a 2 finger foamy and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big lemon, peach, pear, apple, orange peel, white wine, grapefruit, peppercorn, rice, white bread, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast, citrus/earthy hops, and light pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big lemon, peach, pear, apple, orange peel, white wine, grapefruit, peppercorn, rice, white bread, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Large amount of peppery yeast spiciness and citrus rind bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon/orange rind, peach, pear, apple, white wine, grapefruit, peppercorn, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, citrus/earthy hops, and light pale malt flavors; with with minimal lingering hop astringency after the finish. Medium-high carbonation and light body; with a very smooth, crisp, dry, and fairly sticky/resinous mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.2%. Overall this is a very nice and unique saison. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, citrus/earthy hops, and light pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink. This was pretty aggressive on bitterness, but wasn’t astringent due to the very crisp and dry finish. A very enjoyable offering.
