On tap at Benson, pours a hazy copper with a small beige head. Aroma reveals a rather woody, resinous hop character, with plenty of earth, and some bready malt. Flavour reveals a mice balance between resinous hops and woody, caramely, bready malt. Woody and resinous. Nice stuff.

On tap at Benson, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma smells like limeade, with a little lacto, no notice of the cherry. Flavour is pretty all limeade, with a lacto-y base. Fun beer, but this isn't really on-style or a deep one.

On tap at Benson, pours a clear copper amber with a small beige head. Aroma is quite estery, with lots of spicy yeast, bubblegum and earthy notes. Flavour is similar, with estery notes, some farmhouse notes, and bready malt. Too estery and sweet. Okay.

On tap at Benson, pours a clear dull yellow with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with earthy, spicy rye, and a nice rustic saison yeast. Flavour is along the same lines, bringing out a very nice saison character and heaps of earthy rye. The rye is used very well here, with a very earthy, spicy finish. Very nicely done.

Draft/Fest, A- Lime, cherry. A- Peach color, cloudy liquid, no head. T- Tart, lime, mild cherry. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, sweet finish. O- Like a Sonic Cherry Limeade. Pretty damn good. A bit artificial flavoring but I can dig this. They went with a novelty theme and it pretty much worked.

Draft at Benson. Slightly golden yellow, bright white head. Aroma is apple skin and cinnamon. Taste shows a golden ale base (or perhaps a lager) with an infusion of apple and cinnamon.

The texture is crisp with a light body. It is exactly as they advertised.

Draft at the brewery. Lightly cloudy gold, thin head. Aroma is weak grain, wheat, honey. The flavor is ridiculously thin. Body is very watery. But there is some mild malted wheat, and grain. Again not totally offensive but not very good. Super watery.

Sampled at the source. Slightly hazy orange in color. Aroma is nice; lasting citrus, mild pine, and weak herbal notes. The flavor is pretty decent. Citrus right up front with the pine bitterness in the finish. A classic and well executed IPA.
