Has a dull straw colour. Touch of haze. The aroma has something a bit funny - singed cream, canned tomato. Tastes like praline...overly salted, caramel, very light body. Well, if this was an experiment, it did not work. Briney, weird as hell and just not happening at all for me.

Bottle - Smells like Greek salad or something else weird. Clearish gold with a decent white head. Very soft slaty notes with an odd creaminess. Not right.

Tap at Red Door Provisions in Ottawa. Hazy golden-orange pour with minimal white head. Aroma is saison farminess with orange marmalade (maybe I’m being swayed by description but does really smell that way). Some honey and tea too. Taste is refreshing bitterness followed by honey, citrus, banana, spice with a clean dry finish that leaves a little citrus. Nice and clean - the oranginess is more pronounced than the saison flavors, in a way that works for me. Still definitely a saison but fruity and fresh. Nice.

330mL bottle, pours a deep dark reddish brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out a good mix of spicy rye, banana and clove. Flavour has lots of sourness upfront, followed by spicy rye, banana and clove. Shame about the sourness here, as the rest could be okay. But as is, this is quite infected. No good.

330mL bottle, pours a hazy dull orange with a small beige head. Aroma brings out earthy, resinous hops, bready malt, and light caramel. Flavour has fairly obscured hops, with lots of earthiness, some oxidation, and bready caramel malt. A little faint and muffled, but it's reasonably constructed. Decent.

A hazed pinkish ale with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet fruity raspberry jam with light acidity, light mineral notes, refreshing and pleasing. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with loads of raspberry jam, light acidity, light Brett, light lactic notes, very nice and balanced. On tap at Brother’s Beer Bistro.

Enjoyed at the Occo Kitchen. Pours a hazy golden-amber colour with decent white head and good lacing. Orange marmalade aromas with nice mild spices. Also fruity flavours with a little herbal hop notes. Quite a nice fruity refreshing beer that I hope they can do in cans at the LCBO.
