Cloudy tan with a big head. Aroma is a bit yeasty with some nice tree fruit esters. Fizzy, with light hop, not much malt character, and this has a hit of pear fruitiness.

Tasting at Matt’s
Cloudy blond color, very large head. Both aroma and flavor have more vegetables and herbs than everything else, spices, coriander and anise, more vegetables in the final.
Classic American Saison. Nasty idea.

650 ml bottle. Pours a hazy orange amber with light head. Aromas of citrus and sweet toasted malts. Flavors of doughy malts, citrus rinds, melons, and pine. Nice enough..,

Hop Mob @BPP. Darker one, amberish. Why age a hoppy beer. A little caramel coming off the nose. Bitterness lower than expected. Light tasting, some plasticy, asprin, and off aspects but lightly. Eh. caramel,

On tap at The Beer Junction, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out notes of diacetyl, some light piney hops, and biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with a big diacetyl problem dominating. Could be good if they fixed this issue, but as is, it's not pleasant.

On tap at The Beer Junction, pours a hazy dull golden copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out metallic crisp biscuity malt and only a touch of dankness from the citra. Flavour is well-balanced, with lots more dry dank citra than on the nose, coupled with a somewhat metallic bone dry biscuity malt backbone. Highly quaffable and refreshing. Very good.

On tap at Brouwer's Cafe, pours a fairly clear dark orange with q small white head. Aroma isn't that eruptive, featuring notes of fairly dry oak upfront and lingering resin. Flavour is similar, with a very dry and oaky palate - bone dry in fact, with just bittering dry hoppiness lingering. Works pretty well given it's an aged triple IPA, which I don't normally like. Very good.

Well balanced barrel notes in aroma and taste. Sweet in the aroma. A little bit of pastry. Very soft and good balanced compared to Gigantic Pipe Wrench IPA - Gin Barrel Aged. Sweet and bitter (from oak and hops) at the same time in the taste. Good.

Hazy amber color with small bottle. Nice aroma, mellow malt with some vanilla, followed by sweet oranges. Strong body, quite sweet, hops are orangey but old, and with a bit of unpleasant woody astringency. Too much.

Bottle - Vintage 2014 - Sweet caramel notes. Cloudy gold with a small white head. Big caramel and a light bitter sweetness. OK, no barrel notes.
