Sample at Bruery Provisions. This brew pours a reddish-orange color with a thin white head that evaporates quickly to an outer ring. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of tart fruit and malt. Light body with a midly tart fruity character with berry, malt and yeast notes. The finish is lightly sour with cherry aftertaste. Fairly straightforward overall, a decent Sour.

On tap at Monk’s Kettle for a Craftsman dinner. Sensory overload on all aspects of this great beer. The sage is so unique and pronounced. You can even tell the base beer is top notch.

On tap at Monk’s Kettle for a Craftsman dinner. On the dark side of color for a saison. Lots of Belgian esters as you would expect. The yeast dominates here.

On tap at Monk’s Kettle for a Craftsman dinner. Another well made beer from Craftsman with golden color and great white head. Full aroma of bananas. The flavor does not follow through as well, but a decent offering.
