On tap at The Commons, pours an opaque cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma of hay, a lemon tang and some barnyard. Flavour of hay upfront, a mild lemon tang and wheat. Light-bodied and highly drinkable. Like an amped up berliner weisse, without as much tang. Decent stuff.

On tap at The Commons, pours a hazy reddish amber with a small beige head. Aroma and flavour are quite fruity, with some mild raisins and apples, a bit of caramel and toasted malt. Fairly full-bodied for the style. Great pale ale.

On tap at Breakside Brewing, pours a hazy, murky golden with a big white head. Aroma of Belgian yeast, some red wine notes, and farmhouse notes. Flavour is very light, with Belgian yeast, some red wine notes, and some moderate barnyard notes. Light-bodied and pretty lightly flavoured. Nothing special, but easy to drink.

Sampled at GABF. Pours a hazy orange with some eggshell head. Nose of mustard seeds, bitter greens, vinegar. Flavor is a little sweeter than the nose lets on, earthy, collard greens, light vinegar, lemon. Lightly watery finish. Good nose but the flavor is a let down.

Sampled at GABF. Pours a hazy gold with some creamy, white head. Floral nose, honey, white pepper, melon, chrysanthemum. Flavor has more melon, honeydew, flower petals, white pepper, peach. Dry, chalky finish. Fairly pedestrian, but drinkable. Reminded me a bit of home brew.

750 ml bottle. Pours a murky copper color with large retentive head. Light citrus and malt aromas with a touch of horse/rubber/brett. Definite barnyard/brett flavor up front with nice IPA notes following. Interesting.
