Draft at Meridian Pint. Sheepishly consumed in the company of the 4 Hands brewer who was having an event at the same time. ;-) Opaque brown color, beige head with good retention and lacing. Nice aroma of cocoa nibs, milk chocolate. Taste has chocolate and coffee, not to sweet, not too dry. Very tasty.

Many thanks to this can from Travlr! Fresh lemon-nose. Smooth. The beer starts smooth and soft. Not much like a saison, more like a Pale Ale. Very dry, only subtle hints of sourness. The lemon-peel is there, fresh and fruity lemon-sourness on a malty body. I miss the Saison-yeast. Sessionable and easy to drink, probably a bit thin.

Can, 5.9%. Weak grapefruity hop aroma. Hazy golden colour. Good stable white head. The flavour has a little grapefruit to begin with, turning more indeterminably fruity. Medium to high bitterness. Clean finish. Reminds me of Pind White IPA, only less bitter.
