Pour is a bright clear gold with a large white head. Aroma is a bit of citrus tartness with some floral yeast esters. Flavor is a bit light but that is to be expected. Some dry pils type malt with a bit of grassiness and wet hay. Not a real big ester or pepper you get in some saison’s. Made for summer drinking but this is another beer that maybe a bit too light all around.

Bottle. Slightly hazy pale yellow color, massive white head. Aroma of dusty overripe lemons and white pepper. Taste is peppery hay, funky citrus. Tasty and refreshing summer beer. Love the reasonable abv, extra point for that.

Crisp golden coloured body with a very clear glow of honey and a very thin off-white head. Aroma of honey, light malt, some subdued spices and a touch of grass. Light-bodied; Strong malty flavours at first with a bit of grain, some light spices and herbs. Aftertaste shows more of the same with more of a grassy and herbal component, but not enough of the dry, spicey character you’d expect from the style. Overall, a decent Saison at best with only a little of the dryness and complexity that are typical with the style. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in Gainesville, Virginia on 14-May-2016 for US$1,95 sampled in my hotel room in Lancaster, Pennsylvania on 21-May-2016.

Pale yellow no head. Esther’s c pepper and papaya. A little bitter orange peel, again these beers all have the same malt grossness. The yeast or hops aren’t cleaning this up? Lemon juice, pepper and ginger.

Bottle. A clear one, pale golden in color and with a dense, finger-thick white head leaving some lacing. The aroma is lightly bready and pear-ish fruity, with some apples, pine cones and a faint yeasty, peppery touch. It’s medium to thin on the palate, with a nice carbonation. Dry. Pear, generic fruityness and some pine cones in the flavor, with a nice bitterness. Pale malts, some peppery yeast and a touch of white bread, leading to a piney, citrusy and peppery finish. Sure an easy drinkable one, but perhaps a bit yeasty. 160504

Clear pale golden color with white head. Aroma is grainy, grassy, some fruitiness, yeasty. Taste is grainy, grassy, yeasty. Fresh and clean, crisp mouthfeel, and a spice kick. Like a Pilsner with wild yeasts... A bit too grainy, but certainly not bad. Very drinkable.
