On tap at lost dog in McLean VA. It is a cloudy apple cider color and the aroma is citrus. The taste is a bitter grapefruit which resonates bitter on the palate

Growler from the brewery - picked up earlier this evening. Poured a clear amber color with a quickly dissipating head - now just wispy. Aroma is light funk yeast notes, some light malt. Flavor was light malt notes, perhaps a little bit of yeast character. Not a bad beer, but I think it misses the mark a bit when it comes to it being a sasion - the petite saison they make is pretty awesome so this is a little bit of a disappointment. I’ll average out my score between it being a decent beer and not being to style.

Draft at the brewery. Poured a slightly cloudy dark orange color with a small white head. Aroma was light spice notes - rye. Sweet malts, light citrus hops. Flavor was nice light citrus orange notes, spicy rye character. Light yeast finish. Easy to drink - finished this before I even realized.

Draft at the source. Like the regular Kolsch they make, this one poured a cloudy yellow color with a small white head. Perhaps a bit more vibrant. Aroma is light soured notes, some sweet light grains. Notes of light crisp malts, grain character. Lots of sour notes. Perhaps a bit rough around the edges - needs a little mellowing I think - maybe a blend to cut through some of the sour. Liked it for what it was at least.

Draft at the source. Poured a cloudy yellow orange color with a small white head. Aroma was citrus, with some orange, light pine notes. Flavor was juicy orange juice, light pine resin. Pretty enjoyable!
