On tap. Pours amber with light head. Aromas of dull pine, hop pellets (cascade/centennial) and toasted malts. Flavors follow sane; old school hopping. Clean with light bitter finish

Lots of rich citrus here. Comes off nicer than a lot of hazies I've had recently in western Canada. A little green onion but it's light. Hazy yellow pour with pretty good head retention, and good lacing. Clean finish with just a little hop tang. Can.

Hazy, pale, medium head. Sugar-coated apricots on the nose, and it's a bit yeasty. Yeasty on the palate, too, with some tartness. Sweaty. It comes across like the apricot is there to cover up a suboptimal saison. The apricot character is sweet-tart. I mean, I don't expect Turkish-level sweetness here, nor do I receive it. The whole production ends up okay.

pale golden color. Frothy white head. Dry hoppy nose. Lots of tropical fruit and pear. Very carbonated, medium bitterness, bone dry, light body. Very refreshing summer beer with pears lingering in the finish. Very nice.

Poured from 473mL can (from New District liquor). Dark brown with small beige head. Lots of raspberry, light chocolate, mild tartness, hint of nuts on the finish. Found it a little lacking in body, but not bad.

Mild tartness and light body. Rosemary more notable on the nose, more balanced with some of that orange.

Golden, medium head. Hop nose with onions and weed, and a bit of bready pale malt. More mellow on the palate, a mild orange and blueberry hop note, again balancing malt.

Slight pink colour to the blonde. Hazy. Thin head. Has a saison yeast aroma and taste, with light malts, and a touch of cherry. So mostly dusty...like dupontish yeast but left a bit sweeter than that.
