Sample at the taproom. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a medium thin white head that dissipates quickly to an outer ring. Partial rings of lace. Aroma of citrus, funky yeast, hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of herbal yeast, funky citrus, hops and biscuit malt. The finish is mildly funky with a hoppy aftertaste. Above average overall.

750 ml bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 8/17/2017. Pours lightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of steaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big lightly tart lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, mango, melon, red apple, berry, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread, light musty funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/funky/spicy yeast, citrus/fruity/pine hops, and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big lightly tart lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, mango, melon, red apple, berry, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread, light musty funk, and yeast earthiness. Moderate peppery yeast spiciness, pine/citrus peel/grassy bitterness; and light yeast tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, mango, melon, red apple, berry, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread, light musty funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/spicy yeast, citrus/fruity/pine hops, and moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitter/spiciness balance; and zero astringent hop flavors after the finish. Moderate increasing dryness from bitter/spiciness and carbonation. High carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, bready/grainy/sticky, and slightly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol for 6.25%. Overall this is an excellent Belgian farmhouse IPA! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/spicy yeast, citrus/fruity/pine hops, and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink; with moderately bitter/spicy/drying finish. Absolutely spot on stuff, drinks like a saison on style profile with the high carbonation. Really great well rounded Brett/Saison yeast complexity and balanced citrus/fruity/piney American hops; with a nice solid bready malt backbone. A very enjoyable offering.

On tap at the brewery. Slightly hazy yellow orange appearance with a white head. Hops in the nose are a little spicy and piney with lots of fruit and peach. Slightly bitter, low sweetness. A little twangy. Pretty good.

Draft - Citrus peel and some funk. Clear gold with a light white head. Sweet and fruity, citrus hops with a funky bitter finish. Interesting.
