In theory, this could be the same as "saison" and "lemongrass ginger saison", but I really only get the ginger. Had on tap at the brewery. Light amber and hazy with a thin head. On the nose, the ginger stands out. Big ginger on the palate, too. No sign of lemongrass. Good balance - the base beer is a fairly basic biscuity malt and light yeast "saison" and it’s cohesive with the ginger. At least to me - I like ginger and drink ginger beer regularly. If you don’t like ginger, your view of the balance will likely be quite different.

355ml bottle. Pours a slightly hazy pale gold with a small, short lived, fizzy, white head that leaves spotty lacing. Mild aroma of grainy pale malt, biscuit and light hay. Sweet flavour of bready pale malt, biscuit, yeast and lemon with a dry finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation.

355ml bottle. (6.3% ABV) Pours a clear gold-orange with a medium, foamy, long lasting, white head that laces. Sweet aroma of caramel malt, peach, mango, pineapple, orange, pine and sweat. Sweet flavour of biscuit malt, caramel, grapefruit, orange and pine resin with a dry, bitter hop finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Not bad.

Tap @ Big Rock. Hazy light amber, thin head. Not much aroma. Toasty, basically a generic amber, but quite sweet in the finish.

Draught at the brewery, 12oz, concert event
Hazy blond color. Light fruity aroma, simple pale ale, artificial pineapple flavor, light, low bitterness.
Good for the easily pleased Vancouver crowd, but I could hardly finish my cup

On tap at Rosie’s House, Whistler. Clear medium copper under a small short lived white head that leaves nice tight lace all the way down. Nose is butterscotch with some grassy and floral notes and a touch of fruit. Flavour is similar with a medium sweetness and lighter bitterness and the butter being quite distracting. Mouth is medium slick with average carbonation. Meh.

On tap at Red Truck, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hops, biscuity malt, straw and some herbal dankness. Flavour is rather simple, with light piney hops and dry crackery malt. Grainy and somewhat seltzery. Not overly interesting, but it's pleasant enough.

On tap at Red Truck, pours a fairly clear dull blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out light citrus hops, biscuity malt and some seltzery notes. Flavour brings out butter, biscuity malt, seltzer and light citric hops. Can't shake the butter, even if it is slight. Not good.
