On tap at Powell, pours an opaque cloudy peachy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out the lactose upfront, with light vanilla and subdued peaches. Flavour is loaded with lacto upfront, followed by the lactose and then finally the tart peaches. Not detecting the vanilla. Fruity, nicely sweet and yogurty on the palate. Very good.

Hazy light amber, medium head. Not much nose, but has a spicy taste, creamy, yet I wouldn’t say floral. Decent farmhouse-ish brew.

Hazy pale tan. Bit of a sticky, phenolic aroma. Similar palate. I don’t have mich experience with cascara, but I don’t get much. So a sticky, simple new world saison.

On tap at Powell, pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is very laid back, with a touch of earth and no real hint of saison yeast or the coffee. Flavour is likewise pretty muffled, with light earthy coffee, subdued saison yeast and fruity esters. This is a puzzling one - the coffee doesn't really come through and it's quite muddled on the palate. Lacking depth and character. It's okay.

On tap at Powell, pours a cloudy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out floral notes, saison yeast, light rustic notes and some earth. Flavour is quite citric and floral, with a nice rustic saison yeast character, soft floral notes and moderate citrus. Finishes floral, with bitter citrus and very low residual sugar. Nicely done.

Murky, light amber. Not much head. Sticky, with light orchard fruits and late alcohol. This is a gloopy sweet beer with a bit of alcohol in the finish. Not really their best-composed work.

Bright but dull copper. Thin head. Has light fruitiness. Soupy, overripe fruits. even bubblegum. So unlike Powell to completely whiff like this.
