On tap at Monks Cafe. Aroma is very fresh with lots of nice fruit esters, pear and apple being most dominant, good floral notes from the hops that also add a touch of spice and some pepper and clove phenolics. Pours a cloudy pale straw yellow with a pillowy white head. Head recedes fairly quickly. No lacing or legs. Flavor has light malt character upfront, grain and bready. This is quickly washed away with an assertive but moderate bitterness. The bitterness brings in a nice floral and spicy noble hop character which balances nicely with the esters and phenolics from the yeast. Esters are pear, apple and a hint of banana. Phenolics are clove and peppercorn. Finish is dry and bitter with a nice spicy phenolic character. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium high carbonation. There is a low hop astringency and allow alcohol warmth. A very enjoyable clean Saison. The yeast is phenolic and estery but not sour or funky at all. The hop character is refreshing and a nice addition to the yeast character.

On tap at ACBF 6/1/2013 Huge hop aroma spicy and citrus light mineral water flavor. Great session ale.

Pizzeria Paradiso, Dupont tap ($9): Pours a light and cloudy golden color with a white head. Aroma is buttery, slightly lemony, popcorrnish, and a bit funky. Taste is buttery popcorn sans le salt. There is a little bit of sourness in there towards the finish. Body is very light and part of me wished that there was an additional 1 abv. Nice amount of complexity for such a light beer in any case.

On draft at Churchkey in DC. Pours a cloudy gold with a fine white head. Fruity aroma. Flavors of sour apple with a hint of bubble gum. Thin mouthfeel. Crisp dry finish.

25.4 oz bottle at Churchkey in Washington DC, generously shared with my by Travlr. Batch #4. The pour is a hazed orange golden, with a well formed white head. The aroma is big Brett leather, bright vanilla oak, lemon citrus, some nuttiness and grain from the malt and wheat. Quite a bit going on in the nose, and nicely integrated. The taste is big on the Brett notes initially, leather, funk, citrus and then moves towards the vanilla oak flavors. The vanilla oak lingers in the long after taste. The palate is medium to light bodied, active carbonation and a dry finish showing first the leathery funk Brett then the vanilla oak. I really enjoyed the nose, though the taste was a bit heavy on the barrel for my tastes. Regardless, nice beer, well crafted. Thanks for sharing this one Gene.

(tap) clear light amber colour with a small white head; aromas of citrus, sweet floral; rich mostly bitter flavour with a long strong bitter finish; bit like an IPA saison

Draft. Cloudy golden amber color, thick white head, solid lacing. Aroma of dusty lemkns. Taste is funky citrus. Decent.
