Location: 12 oz bottle from Spec's, 6/1/14
Aroma: The nose is full of tropical fruit and yeast, spice/pepper, mild funk, and some herbal notes
Appearance: Pours an unclear gold color with a thin sheet of white head and pretty good lacing
Flavor: The taste is sweet for the style, pretty fruity, with some nice spice/yeast flavor
Palate: The body is medium, it has a fairly clean feel, average carbonation, and a light dry finish
Overall Impression: I found this pretty enjoyable and also pretty unique. The more of it I drank the more I enjoyed the beer. I liked how the tropical sweetness played on the underlying yeasty/Saison flavors. Well done.

Pours cloudy very dark brown with airy tan head. Dusty aroma of roasted malt, with subtle notes of hops. Bitter and dusty flavour of hops and roasted malt, with notes of some spice and coffee. Lingering, bitter aftertaste with sourish notes. A weird Schwarzbier.

Draft - Apricot and fruity Belgian yeast. Clearish gold with a rich beige head. Bubblegum, apricot and sweet fruit. Not sure if I really get the smoke, but the sweetness may have covered it up. A decent strong, but nothing special.

Bottle - Peach, pineapple, lychee and other tropical fruits. Hazy yellow gold with a rich white head. Light tropical fruit, grass and yeasty finish. Light and refreshing, but it could use either a kick of bitterness or tartness to add depth.

Bottle - Wheat, lemon, grass and a slight skunky bitterness. Clearish gold with a rich bubbly white head. Wheat, grass and some light refreshing bitterness. Rye adds some nice spice that makes it a bit more interesting. I think this is a nice refreshing beer with some unusual but decent flavors.
