Last one of the growler share.
The appearance was a mostly dark brown close to black color with a finger’s worth of eggshell white foamy head. Eloquent looking foamy strings of lace gloss the sides of the glass.
The aroma had a nice blend of piney sharp hops embracing a slight citrusy hoppy contour rolling over some dark and roasty malts. Just a little bit of dark chocolate nibs split between the hops to add some bitterness.
The flavor takes the bitter of the hops with the chocolate nibs and then runs with the roast and then a light sweetness comes in pretty nice. Light aftertaste of the prior mentioned flavors nips the finish fairly well.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a fair sipping quality about it. There’s a lot going on with this one, so it’s does it’s \"palate wrecking\" ability normally associated with the style. ABV felt appropriate. Tongue feels a bit numb from what everything that’s going on.
Overall, definitely one of Westtown’s better beers. And really happy I got to enjoy this one.

Thanks Jake.
The appearance was a fairly dark orange hazy color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that fell off fairly slow. Some ringy foamy lace sticks around the glass.
The aroma had a nice blend of sweet grassy hops, light Belgian yeasty/breadiness, some bubblegum, candied fruits, orange pulp, and ends with a little bit of boozy pomme-like fruits.
The flavor definitely leaned towards the sweet side. Grassy hops seem extremely distant in the taste. Belgian sugary sort of orange pulpiness and light bubblegum in the aftertaste. Quick malty sort of sweet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Would have thought there might have been a little \"beef\" on the body with this one due to the style but I will say it’s pretty smooth and doesn’t really have the cloying effects that I thought we’re going to occur.
Overall, aroma and flavor are the best things about this beer. Yes, the feel seems somewhat good, but there needs to be just a touch more body to this one.

Thanks Jake.
The appearance was a muddy semi-dark amber color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that fell off at a decent pace. Sly messy lace.
The aroma had some soft sweet honey maltiness over some rich caramel and toffee malts. Just a touch of nuts, but they’re mostly sweet.
The flavor was mostly sweet with far below roastiness trying to come in, it doesn’t, to be honest. Honey rich to caramel malty tones flow into the aftertaste and on into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat between a light and medium on the body with some cloying side effects coming across. ABV felt fine.
Overall, first beer by Westtown, that I can’t really get behind. Nice to try though.

Reviewed from notes.
Thanks Jake.
The appearance was a light copper to burnt orange color with a thin finger’s worth of white foamy head that slid gently into some messy lace.
The aroma had a nice blend of some citrus, earthy spice, floral notes, light bubblegum, herbal qualities and then some Belgian yeasty/breadiness.
The flavor leads with the sweet components of the prior mentioned aromas to brighten some of the Belgian yeastiness and herbal qualities. Noting some cereal graininess in the aftertaste accompanying some of the earthiness to follow. Not much of a finish, bubblegum to spritzy citrusy.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Not much seems to be getting in the way of a lenient soft yeastiness smoothing things out fairly nice. ABV felt as projected.
Overall, this somewhat seemed like an odd yet acceptable blend of a saison and a witbier. Not sure if that was intentional, but hey, I liked it for the most part.
