On tap at the brewery.
This was poured into a tall tulip.
The appearance was a soft bright yellow color with a semi-thick finger’s worth of white foamy head. Sly rimm-ed lace running here and there.
The aroma had some eucalyptus/minty/herbal blend rolling into some Belgian yeasty/bready/somewhat wheaty tones. Some light white and black pepper. Then ends with some pineapple.
The flavor blends nicely between that eucalyptus/minty/herbal thing to the Belgian yeasty/breadiness. Semi-sweet and then the pineapple helps to underscore the flavor fairly nicely. Fairly smooth sweet herbal/minty aftertaste with a sly bready sticky finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent sessionability about it. Carbonation seems to hit fairly well. Fairly smooth from the eucalyptus.
Overall, nice unique and creative way by Foam Brewers to take a saison and add eucalyptus. I liked it and would have again.

Tap, at the brewery. Super hazy, bright yellow. Thin, dense, sticky, lasting, bright white head. Nose has buttery and wheaty yeast. Some white pepper. Some fruit, along the lines of tinned pineapple. Taste has some sweetness but is mostly dry, with a moderate hop bitterness. Massaging mouthfeel. Light to medium body. Dries out on the finish. Nice one.
