On tap at Saraveza Farmhouse Festival, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out citrus zest and biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with notes of citrus, and rustic farmhouse notes. Dry, citrus and bready notes. Complex and well-designed.

Bottle from Star Grocery. It pours a very pale yellow color with a medium fizzy white head that disappears. The aroma has some lemon, white grape, gooseberries and hints of an herbal parsley thing going on. Not too strong. The flavor is very sour with more of the white grape, lemon, gooseberries and less of the herbal/vegetal thing I got in the aroma. The flavor really smooths out as it warms with more of the tropical fruit coming out in place of the lemon. The body is pretty light with a sour pucker in the finish. Hardly any bitterness. Pretty good.

375 ml bottle into tulip glass; no bottle dating, but is a recent release. Pours lightly hazy golden straw color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a large amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of big lightly tart lemon, lime, pear, pineapple, grapefruit, melon, green apple, white grape, pepper, hay, straw, herbal, grass, musty funk, light wheat/cracker, and herbal/yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/funky/spicy yeast, lemon/dandelion, and light pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big lightly tart lemon, lime, pear, pineapple, grapefruit, melon, green apple, white grape, pepper, hay, straw, herbal, grass, musty funk, light wheat/cracker, and herbal/yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/acidic tartness and yeast spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon, lime, pear, pineapple, grapefruit, melon, green apple, white grape, pepper, hay, straw, grass, musty funk, and herbal/yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/spicy yeast, lemon/dandelion, and light pale malt flavors; with a great malt/tart/spiciness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Good amount of dryness from fruit acidity, yeast spiciness, and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, fairly crisp/acidic/sticky, and lightly grainy/creamy balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a damn nice fruited Brett saison style. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/spicy yeast, lemon/dandelion, and light pale malt flavors; and very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

Shared bottle. Faded pink color, no clarity. Raspberry jam aroma, strong. Flavor is a slightly less jammy, funky berry, soda effercescent. Not acetic, fruity funky at best..

Shared by Crow. Gusher and then when I pour for myself... no head. Another ugly beer, dirty rose water, no clarity. Aroma, I keep going in back and forth whether I like it. I have decided I do because it smells like lychee, which I think is great. Flavor is not lychee, just bland semi-apricot dirty water. Also, somehow undercarbed despite the gusher. I’m super flummoxed.

12 ounce can. Bought at Uptown Market in Beaverton, OR. Pours a fairly cloudy orange color with a small white head. A light tea orange citrus nose. A big fresh citrus flavor, resinous, orange peel. Fresh and very flavorful. Solid IPA.

375mL bottle, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is huge on the peaches, with fresh peaches dominating - moderate sweetness, a touch of acidity. Flavour is along the same lines, with lots of peaches. Not overly sweet, nor acidic. Not very complex or fresh, but it's decent. Overpriced and underwhelming. Meh.

Draft pour pint at Frankies pizza. Pours a cloudy lemonade appearance with an active fizz carb. Sweet lime heavy aroma. Margarita on tap? I’ve never had one of those beer infused margaritas, but If they are anything like this at all, I was missing out. I was hoping to get some tart out of this, but it wasn’t meant to be. Mostly sweet candy lime. Pretty good beer for a little while, but the initial surprise wore off and wanted something more beery. Does that even make sense? Who cares, I know what I mean.
