Cloudy with a thin head, aroma has light esters, bubblegum phenols and pepper. Sweet, plasticy, yeasty, finishes way too sweet, with harsh alcohol. A step backwards for these guys.

A lighter copper than the IPA but bit by much, great beige head with fantastic staying power + great lacing. Banana bread, citrus, some pepper & maybe nutmeg in the nose? This was a buck pricier than the others. A rounder mouthfeel & carbonation that mskesvforva smoother body which works with the style. The taste is balanced & matches the nose: sweet fruity banana bread, a light saison funk, pepper & citrus zest. While many of their beers tasted nice this one seems the best put together of the bunch.

Cloudy orange-blond color with small compact head. Delicate aroma, fresh, with some fruits, spices, also manure. Good body strength, with high carbonation; some malt flavor, strong spicy character (coriander and a bit of cloves), and strong orange peel; it has a light residual sweetness; correct bitterness, but with an impression of vegetables and chicory in the end; stronger spices and less sweetness than a typical American Saison (positive). Some of the hop qualities are present in the final. A bit too yeasty.
Yes, an American Saison, and I wouldn’t consider it to be the best target to choose.

On tap at 33 Acres, pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Nose is very hoppy, bringing out lots of dry piney and citrus hops, along with Belgian yeast, light funk, and a lemon zest quality. Flavour certainly tastes like an American-hopped saison, with robust piney and citrus hops atop Belgian yeast, lemon zest and light funk. Totally not brewed to style, but this is pretty great nonetheless. I think I slightly preferred Of Merckx, but this is great too.
