Tap @ Perennial. Pours a fairly clear golden orange appearance with an off white head. Zesty citrusy, a touch funky, mild aroma. Tangerine/orange, mild funky, bready flavor. Not hard to drink but not much going on.

Tap @ Perennial. Pours a bit lazy, yellow appearance with a white head. Straw, light barnyard, floral, lemon aroma. Floral, dry, straw, easy drinking flavor. For a style I don’t like all that much, this was pretty refreshing.

Location: 750 ml bottle from Whole Foods-Bowery, 1/3/13
Aroma: The nose is clean and hoppy, with some grass, Saison yeast, lemon, and earth
Appearance: It pours a hazed golden-orange color with a huge froth of lacy, off-white head
Flavor: It has light sweetness, lots of grass, spice, and earth, and a light-medium bitter hoppiness
Palate: The body is medium, it has a lively carbonation, feels a touch slick, and has a bit of dryness
Overall Impression: This was the first beer I've tried from Perennial, and I actually quite liked what they did here. It's almost like an Pale Ale-Saison mixture, but not exactly. It has a Belgian feel for sure. I don't know how to classify this, so Belgian Ale seems perfect. It's a little overly carbonated, which hurts the drinkability a bit, but overall, it's really quite enjoyable.

Dark brown coloured body with a thick, four centimetre tall tan head that fades like soda and even makes the same noise (fizz). Aroma of toasted malt, alcohol, soap, cleanser, yeast and a hint of nuts (walnuts, I guess). Medium-bodied; Nice malty flavour with some subdued pit fruit sweetness from raisins and prunes with a hint of nuttiness at the end and perhaps a little bit of light spices such as allspice and nutmeg. Aftertaste has a good balance of malt and sweetness with the alcohol showing a touch, but not overdone by that or the nuttiness. Overall, a decent beer - but not as good as I was expecting nor representative of the style at all. This is a classic Dunkles not a Dunkleweizen at all - I’m not sure how that was misrepresented. I sampled this 75 cL bottle purchased from New Beer Distributors in New York, New York on 04-July-2012 for US$12.25 sampled at home as the first beer of the new year on 01-January-2013 here in Washington.

Big thanks to beerman6686 for a chance to taste this great beer. Looks fairly pale. Initially it has a tad of green olive and pimento flavor in there. Smell is a little plastic and artificial. Taste on the other hand is very good, Goes perfect with sharper chees (thanks lithy). This is a pretty good beer and I appreciate the tartness in there. These sour and tart beers are so much fun. In flavor, this beer rocks. THANKS DAN! Had this a the RB pgh winter 2012 post world ending prior to Christmas beer tasting.

Draft at iTap chesterfield. The flavor on this thing was extraordinary. It was like juicy fruit watermelon and alcohol sweetness without astringency. Sweet, non-bitter American hops mix with the fruitiness of a barleywine in a very nice way. It really was fun to taste this beer, the alcohol is well incorporated into the beer. Its s sweet, tropical fruit sipper. Slightly thicker, viscous mouthfeel. A thick yet radiant reddish hue colored beer. Nice stuff, would drink on tap again.

750mL bottle, sent from tstockstrom (thanks Chuck), pours a hazy golden / copper with a substantial white foamy head. Aroma is full of doughy notes, with loads of Belgian yeast, with a little spicy and some orangey fruits. Flavour reveals earthy notes, Belgian yeast and dough above all, with a very slight hint of orangey fruitiness. Quite earthy and doughy, with a hint of spice on the finish. Not as good as I'd hoped for - the nose is much more inviting than the flavour profile. Still, decent stuff.

Bottle @ Stephen’s house, courtesy of TheAlum. Thanks Adam! (P.S. Justin, why the fuck did you miss getting me this one?) Pours a hazy, light yellow appearance with a white head. Juicy, fuzzy, peach jolly rancher, light lactic, vanilla, carbonated aroma. Very refreshing, a touch watery, very nice peachy, vanilla, bubbly carbonated flavor. Too fucking easy to drink. It could be fun to beer bong this shit. Update: tried another bottle and some butter came through. Still a tasty beer but that was a bit off putting.
