Pint on tap at brewery. Golden amber beer with a solid white head. Slight haze, little carbonation. Sweet nose of tangerine and malt. Flat mouthfeel, watery bitterness. Good quencher, more like a ESB than an APA.

On tap at Wig & Pen, pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out stone fruits and resinous hops. Flavour is very fruity, with lots of Belgian yeast, candied sugar and stone fruits. Not really saison-like - way too sweet and fruity, but it's still decent for what it is.

On tap at Wig & Pen, pours a hazy bronze with a small beige head. Aroma brings out a good citrus and pine hop component, and biscuity malt on the underside. Flavour is along the same lines, with piney hops, some light citrus and a bone dry biscuity malt backbone. Well-balanced and drinkable. Solid.
