Like summer sun in a hayfield. Spicy black pepper and orange zest on the palate. Noble hops give subtle bitterness and structure.

Draught at the brewery. Hazy tan. Peachy nose, light fruity esters, pear and honey. Not a lot of saison but the hop gives the right impression.

Draft - Sweet bubblegum and some pale malt. Clear gold with a decent white head. Sweet, bitter, bubblegum and a long finish. Hops? Not good.

Bottle from Brewery Creek, Vancouver
Hazy golden color with very generous compact head. The aroma is a bit earthy and spicy, some straws (6+). The mouthfeel is smooth, highly carbonated; it’s more astringent than spicy, with light acidity that seems out of place, and a decent level of bitterness; nothing to note about malt and hops (6-).
Pleasant beer, but it’s somehow chaotic, and not entirely convincing.

650mL bottle, pours a cloudy golden orange with a medium white head. Aroma brings out floral notes, Belgian yeast and nice dry hopping. Flavour is along the same lines, with floral dry hopping and Belgian yeast. Pretty gentle - the dry hopping isn't that potent. Clean and very easily drinkable. Good stuff.
