Crowler from the brewpub. Pours dark opaque gold with a huge foamy near beige head. Aroma is spicy pale stone fruit. Brought pickled peaces to mind. Med body at least. Flavor is fairly dry, lightly spicy and peach. It's even a little spicy/earthy astringent. Tastes good. Nice saison.

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours very dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is chocolate/vanilla for me. Near med body. Flavor shows coffee first, followed by chocolate with vanilla notes. Not very dry; not very bitter. Verging on a desert beer. But a bit too earthy for that. If you like porters with flavorful adjuncts, this!

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Aroma of juicy fruits - mix of tropicals and citrus. Med body or so. Flavor is very tropical, but doesn’t seem to fit the usual suspects. Citrus plays second fiddle. Mild malt support. Juicily undry; quite hoppy; a bit more than moderately bitter. Stands out a little ways from the tropical crowd.

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Light floral aroma, backed by a little earthy fruit. Med body or nearly. Flavor is floral with some light mysterious fruits - like pale stone, but maybe wild light non-red berry things. Just a bit of pale malt support. Flavors are strong, but are very pleasing. Heck of a session ale. Fantastic to take a growler to the lake or pool.

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours bright gold with a white head. Aroma of Nobel hop - cleaner than many. Med body. Flavor starts bready, then goes spicy/fruity. Pretty dry. Spicy/grassy/fruity bitter. Finishes off with an earthy suggestion in the mouth. Really tasty Pils.
