Bottle sample at the source courtesy of a friendly couple who shared their bottle. Cloudy golden color, white head. Aroma of stone fruit, light vanilla, citrus, port. Taste is softly sour fruit, subtle tannins. Very tasty. I like the lowish abv.

750 ml corked and caged bottle from Sparrow - Downtown, 9/11/15
This beer pours a golden-orange color with a large beige colored head and light, drippy lacing. The yeast here is pretty interesting, not the fruitiness that the bottle lead me to expect, but instead more of a spice forward yeast. Some clove, comes through. Light fruit shows up, but it isn't blueberry. Fairly lively carbonation. Fairly dry finish. Not bad, but I've had other Saisons from these guys that I preferred.

Red colour, white head. Somewhat sour aroma, mint, pediococcus, grape skins. Funky flavour, brett, grapeskin. Very dry. Lots of CO2, overpowering and wishing lots of aromas away. Pitty really, I think it would be even better with a lighter fizz.

At the brewery: So, this bottle is a different batch of the same brew and has B3 Yeast cultured from blueberries, rather than N3 from nectarines. That said, it is also called SY1... it seems like if Transmitter wanted this to be a different beer, they would have called it so; therefore, I am rating it as this beer. OK, well then... on to the beer now. It pours orange with a nice white head. Aroma is a whole lot of banana... almost like a hefe at first. However, there is definitely a saison behind all the banana with the minerally, spicy notes. Taste is at first kind of banana with a strange little boozy note akin to what you would get in a tripel. I kind of think that the aroma is better than the taste. I don’t know if I like it, mostly because of the slightly boozy finish.

750 ml bottle from Sparrow, 8/28/15. It pours a golden color with a small ring of white head and some light, drippy lacework. The aroma comes off as nicely fruity, peach, melon, some pear, a little grass, and some yeast as well. Very nice flavor. Lots of fruit and yeast flavors, a little sweet, but clean and lightly bitter. Drinks great, with a clean feel, average to lively carbonation and a nicely dry close. Probably my favorite Transmitter beer thus far. Well done by these guys.

At Rich’s Massive Cellar Emptying Tasting. Transmitter Harvest 1 7.1% a lovely pinkish brown with a spicy berry character. Sharp carbonation and a pretty dry finish. Fruity but also a touch medicinal. So-so, rough body.

Location: 750 ml bottle from Sparrow, 8/23/15
Aroma: The aroma is fairly fruity, tropical, and some funk, with a good yeast presence as well
Appearance: It pours a darker orange color with a frothy beige head and light lace
Flavor: The flavor is yeast and fruit as well, lightly sweet, with a bitter close
Palate: The body is medium, decent mouthfeel, and finishes quite dry, bretty on the mouth
Overall Impression: I'm glad these guys are in NJ now. This works pretty well. The brett really dries it out more so than adding a lot of funk. Nice beer.

Sampling at the source: pours orange with a white head. Aroma is spicy and really fruity. Taste is nice and spicy with interesting fruity notes. Not as bretty as expected. Weird. Well done.
