Courtesy of CigarCityBrew. Pours hazy straw with thin bright white head. Smells of sugary sweet malts and wheat and not much else. The taste feels watery to start but that may work for the refreshing summer beer style. I get sweet and tart notes to go along with wheat and what feels like an absence of hops. Interesting.

Throwdown. Stinky vegetal aroma, plenty of DMS. Kinda bad really. Underlying bready malts. Bubblegum flavors. Lightly hot finish. Amber gold color. I didn’t want to finish it, and I didn’t.

Throwdown. Pleasing floral and spicy aroma with a light yeasty sourdough bread. Flavor is quite light, with only a light yeastiness and fairly clean malts. Light refreshing finish.

Pour is a dark brown with a very large tan head. Aroma is nice with some caramel, spice and a bit of earthyness. Flavor is very sweet with some rye bread and candi sugar. Then the eye watering alcohol hits you. It does not leave a burn but you deffinatly know its there. Just an ok quad and some age would do it wonders. All of the smokestack beers were very good but this is probably the one i liked the least.

Pour is a bright orange with a soft white head. Aroma is everything a triple should be. Lots of banana and clove with some cream and yeast. Flavor is spice and banana with some pepper and yeast. Again this is everything a triple should be and the alcohol is not a problem. Very tasty,spot on and satisfying.

Pour is a orange with a large tan head. Aroma is excellent! Huge fresh pine hops with a good amount of caramel malts to round things out. Flavor is decent as well. Very dry with a nice pine hop and some green tea. Malts are not as strong as in the aroma but there are enough to show up and make an appearance. Well done and I’ve heard this may not be around for awhile due to the hop shortage. I’m glad i got to try it.

Pour is a bright yellow with a large white head. Aroma is yeasty and spice but the main thing i get is a strong citrus. Flavor is good with some peppery spice, yeastyness and again a strong citrus. After the swallow it leaves the musty barnyard funk on the tounge. A very tasty and heavily carbonated beer. Now Im going to have saison burps all night.
