750ml bottle 2013 vintage. Pours out a brown color with a little amber notes and a sand head. Nose is light pit fruit some bourbon barrel vanilla malts toffee and a little chocolate. Taste is more of the nice bourbon barrel touch rich malts some sweetness.

Pours dark brown, bit of beige foam on the top, more like a skirmish though. Aroma has some roast, little sourness and burnt malts. Taste has more acidity, feels actually quite sour, with this burnt rye bread in the background, together with some - yes again - nail polish. Relatively weak body, roast is strong and lots of chocolate, bitter and not sweet, wheat adding these sour notes. Overall interesting, not sure I want to drink a lot of it though.

Draft at BitterCreek. Not bad, but what is it? Light, more hops than necessary for a Saison. Dry, grainy, malts. Slight yeast component. Head scratcher.n

Hazy tan w no head. Aroma is gin like...lots of myrtle. Orangey notes. Tart up front, soft citrus notes, and the myrtle comes through pretty nicely. A bit muddled but I like the strong herbal character.

Hazy, pale. Thin head. The aroma is mellow, actually. Gingery on the palate, touch of pale malt. Good balance. The malts are a touch flabby and that makes it finish weak but there’s good here.

Chill haze, odd nose, earthy, touch of bitter orange but not sure if this is bright enough for me. On the palate, nice bitterness, herbal/orangey hop, decent body. More satisfying than the usual sesh IPA.

On tap at Beermongers. Pours a yellow color with a small white head. A big..huge really tropical fruity nose. Rich citrus, lemons, orange peel, a somewhat thin palate, smooth, big mango, some soft grainy malts. Very smooth. Almost a E Coast IPA in the intense juicy flavor. Lovely.
