Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clear, glowing straw gold with a finger of foam that dissipates. Lovely saison yeast focused nose with lemon, pineapple and light mint notes on the nose. More of the same on the palate. Notes of clove, crackery malt and mineral notes with the same tropical notes from the hops. Highly drinkable and refreshing. Reminds me a lot of Blackberry Farm (which is a good thing!).

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clear silver with lots of bubbles, but little to no head. Light apple juice aromas, but doesn't really go anywhere...not as good as the Rightful cider in my opinion.

Pint can from Ridgeview Liquor, 12/30/21. Hazy yellow, thin fizzy off-white head, poor retention. Aroma of bready malt, yeast, citrus, vinous notes, white grape. Taste is citrus, lemon, bready malt, vinous notes. A bit thin. Crisp, refreshing. Perhaps December 30th is not the right venue, but, this did leave me a bit wanting.

Can from 8DP. Pours a clearish gold with some soapy white head that dissipates quickly. Light citrus and wheat aromas with some light notes of oak. Palate is very similar with a smooth, muted flavor profile. Easy drinking, but carbonation is a bit soft.
