Draught at Tip Tap Room, 9/13/16.
Lightly to moderately hazy, brassy-golden with a small-to-medium-sized white head atop that shows moderately-low retention.
Brett and lactic acids comprise the nose, being fairly soft though with a good deal of strong fruitiness from the brett (lime, hickory, light band aid). Some malt behind it adds just a touch of honey, which is greatly appreciated, and there is no big oakiness/toastiness, just a healthy dose of wood/tannin. The saison characteristics are pretty thin, but then, I don’t really consider any of their "saisons" to be actual saisons. Just a nicely done American sour here, though not heavy on the sourness.
Good carbonation, fairly tight and engaging, with a light, malty and wood tannin-laden texture. Soft honey-vanilla helps balance the light sourness, that pulls mostly lactic acid in to the fold, avoiding any big acetic notes. Bright brett fruitiness lingers on the finish, with no alcohol or flaw.

From my dear brother: pours copper with a white head. Aroma is funk, bread, apricot. Taste is somewhat sour. Not a very powerful flavor. It is not exactly watery. Not a bad saison, but I preferred the gin one to this one.

This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a bronzed burnt orange to brown color with a quickly dissipating white dissipating head that left no lacing.
The aroma starts off with some woody glazed orange pulpy extra citrus, sly bready. Seems to want to show a ton of potential.
The flavor takes some of the sour to tart citrus to ride into a dry woodiness. Quick aftertaste, sly bready finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a mediun on the body. Dry sparking funk hits my tongue and throat.
Overall, this is that so close yet so far away beer from Hermit Thrush for almost and finally making that breakthrough awesomeness, I think most of us have been waiting for. I’m rooting for you, Hermit Thrush, you have it in you.
