Draft pint at the Scott's Addition location - lightly hazy gold - nicely dry and crisp, with a strong rusticity - moderate spicy phenolics that play well with the herbal and grassy hops - flinty finish, with a very light bugginess - very slight sweetness peaks through at the end, giving a light white grape quality before a long, dry, moderately spicy finish - I dig it.

Very nice saison. Just the kind I love, with florals, light lime and that hint of old pink bubblegum. Golden pour with good head and lacing. Light sweet finish with hints of grain. Very pleasant. Wish they'd do this beer more - I'd buy sixers of this. Tap at Rústico.

Can ordered from Premier Hop. Aroma is sharp, spice and grains with a hint of dankess. Hazy pale copper. Thick fluffy foamy white head. Light-medium bitter. Spice. Grainy. Restrained yet tart sour edge. Underlying yeasty sweetness. Light-medium bodied. Slick verging on creamy. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Dry astringent finish. Spicy. Smooth. Drinking a beer called Melancholia in my PJs and watching OG emo band Samiam on't TV. Keeping it real.
