Poured up at Flanny’s Arizona on Tap Festival with a clear gold body that supports a loose near white head. The modest aroma offers up some sweet sugary maltiness, some sweet fruitiness and then saison yeasty spices leading to a damp flowery meadow sort of sensation. The taste starts with berry like fruitiness and then rolls straight into saison like spicy notes. It begins to dry out about midway and into the finish with an additional vague sort of hoppiness.

On tap at 1702, pours hazy deep yellow with no head. Aroma is clean wheat with a bit of a sweet lemon element in the background. Flavor is awesome. Big cracked wheat and crackers with pale grain and big sour citrus notes in the finish. Excellent.

On tap at the brewhouse. Pours a very haze orange-ish, red-ish, pink-ish with an off-white head that lingers. Aroma of yeast and sweet syrup. Taste was very sweet and disjointed. The wheat added some chewyness in the mouthfeel. This was the only beer at the brewery that i thought lost the plot.

On tap at the brewhouse. Pours a deep brown with a nice brown head. Moderate (in a great way), subtle vanilla with slight roast. Flavors follows through with the vanilla lending a soft rounded mouthfeel. Quality beer and my favorite from the tasting session.
