On tap at Faculty, pours a hazy pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma is of full of spicy ginger, saison yeast, and cereal graininess. Flavour is dry and grainy, with gentle ginger spiciness upfront and saison yeast drying this out. A touch of esters, but it's pretty dry. Seems better than it used to be based on the older ratings.

Light fruity ginger notes and doughy. Clearish gold with a decent white head. Much the same in taste.

Smells of heavy cough syrup, just all medicinal like someone dropped a Hall's into my beer. No foam on the body, cloudy dark yellow liquid. Flavour is heavy ginger overpowering everything else but rather floral in nature. Kind of watery mouthfeel. It's unique, but lacks balance.
