Minimal head, champagne-like light yellow body with heavy carbonation. Strong floral hops on the nose, peaches, grapefruit especially. Good flowery air freshener kind of flavour, reminds me of some of the more fun lambic experiments in Belgium. Would have preferred a better finish, just comes across as muddy. Interesting elements but they are not all cooperating together.

Brewmaster Dan feels I got an old or bad bottle, will rerate with a better one

Quite pale, the mosaic is quite pungent. Fairly dry on the palate, moderate bitterness and the saison yeast lends a perfumey note that is all but drowned out by the mosaic.

Draught at 12 Kings, Vancouver
Cloudy pale yellow color, poured with small head. Nice fruity Mosaic aroma. The mouthfeel is very dry, the yeast leaves a nice pungent spicy track, and the hopping is both fruity and resiny, zesty.
A bit too much, not very harmonious, but at least it delivers.

Draft - Tons of nice citrus. Hazy straw with a nice white head, citrus, soft tropical notes and a nice fruity light bitter finish. Well balanced and very drinkable. Well done.

On tap at 12 Kings, pours a cloudy yellowish blonde with a small white head. Aroma is very fragrant, with lots of dry hopping, tropical fruits, light lacto and moderate citrus tartness. Flavour is along the same lines, with dry hopping and tropical fruits upfront, again followed by citrusy tartness. The tropical fruitiness from the Mosaic hops finish this one off. Excellent stuff.
