7.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
On tap at Bottleworks, pours a hazy golden blond. Aroma of sour fruits, citrus, yeast and hops. Flavour is a lot closer to a sour ale than saison - lots of citrus, sour fruits and yeast. Interesting one.

Courtesy of sebletitje. Pours hazy deep gold with thin white head. The aroma is full with grains, honey, lemon acidity and herb-y spices as well as bits of wheat and yeast. The taste is effervescent across the palate punctuating notes like yeasty spices, lemon, graininess, herbaliness, mild tartness too, wheat and a thin layer of yeastiness. Darn tasty stuff.

Sampled at 16th St. Liquor Store, pours a hazy yellow with a big white head. Aroma of citrus and yeast, with some malty sweetness. Flavour is similar, with some coriander and hops on the finish. Very complex and creamy mouthful. Great one.

Another goodie from upright. Dark with medium white head, much lacing. Spicy farm aroma with a note like freshly made rusks. Full all over the mouth breadiness, spice and pepper, but the rye commanded. Hoppy finish, not like an IPA, but more subdued. A beer for campaigning on.
