Draft at GABF 2009. Nose of light nfloral hops, light funk, and light oaky spices. Lightly hazy yellow with a small white head. Flavor is lightly tart and funky with a spicy ginger note.

GABF2009 - this is one super bitter, super dry, super biscuity/flinty saison - man, that’s almost everything I love in the style, with a distinct, potent american hop kick that works really well with the lean, dry malts - a bit of sweaty, earthy, wild character far in the back makes things even more interesting - love it!

On tap at Toronado San Francisco. Pours a murky orange with a fizzy white head. Aroma of citrus fruits, citrus rinds, slight dry brett, white grapes, grass. Flavor is citrus fruits and crackers with only slight brett kicking in. Dry finish. This is mild compared to their other offerings but a very nice beer on it’s own.

Draft. Slightly hazy amber beer with an off-white head. Nice citrus hop aroma with a bit of brettiness underneath. Good balance int he flavor between brett and citrusy hops. Medium bodied. Good brettiness. Citrusy hops linger with the brett and finishes dry.
