tap at the brewpub last summer - Pours cloudy orange with a small head. The aroma is of yeast and citrus, mostly the yeast. The flavor is lightly sweet and quite well hopped with a medium body and a dry finish. For me the rhubarb was undetectable. This brew is fairly good but seems to be missing something for a saison.

On tap at HopCat. This caught my eye and I thought that it would either be pretty good or freaking terrible, but my curiosity was up. Pours a hazy gold that I guess has a slight pink shade to it, but that might just be my imagination, too. A bit of a head, and aromas are heavy with rhubarb at first, but I either become disabused to it or it fades a bit, leaving a light malt and herb aroma. Flavor... so I don’t know quite what it is with this beer, but it hit a chord with me... Maybe a long day in the sun, maybe distant subconscious memories of mom’s rhubarb... who knows? Normally saisons are not my favorites as the malt and yeast combination seems to disagree with me... This beer is different, the malt and spice/herb presence is kept nicely in check by the tartness (understated, although my understanding is that plans for a more robust presence in the future do exist, according to un-named inside sources). This is a damn fine beer...

On tap at Hopcat during the RBSG. Poured a cloudy pink gold with a slight orange hue and a white head that dissipated quickly to nothing. Aroma was full of light fruits and floral notes with the rhubarb lying back a bit. Rhubarb was more present on the tongue as it combined nicely with the light fruits and floral notes.

Served on draft at the brewpub... shared by deyholla. Thanks! Pours a hazy strawberry color with a medium head. Fair head retention and lacing. The aroma is fruity with some spice and herbal notes. The taste is rhubarb, tart fruits and a leafy hop finish. Medium bodied. Opinion was mixed about this one around the table, but I liked it.
