Draft - That dirty French yeast not I really dislike. Clear Amber with a rich beige head. As it smells, earthy and light Woody with a sweet note. Not to my taste.

On tap at Callister. Pours a clody brown with a white head. Aroma is dried tart sweet cherries. Taste is pretty same character with addition of floral hoppy bitterness from an original style, but lots of cherry flavor though. Sligthtly dry cherry aftertaste with floral hops notes. Excellent!

Amber color, cloudy, with compact beige head. That aroma is what I define as dusty, I’m not excited by that; a bit of banana esters. Mild caramel flavor, mild residual sweetness, a bit dusty and earthy again, banana (for scale). Doesn’t strike as a Saison, no real quality in the yeast, no real quality in the dark malts.
I’m not saying it’s bad, but What’s the point?

On tap at Callister, pours a fairly clear amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out a nice mix of dry toasted caramel, earthy Belgian yeast, and crusty rye bread. Flavour is quite complex, with earthy notes, crusty rye bread, Belgian yeast and dry toasted caramel all in great harmony. Every element adds nicely to the whole, creating quite the complex dark saison. Excellent.

On tap Callister. Pours a dark copper with a tan head. Aroma is floral, fruity, roasted malt. Same character taste and aftertaste with caramel notes. Very nice.

Darker shade of blond, almost clean. The aroma is woody and a bit spicy; good body strength, the flavor is malty, bready, woody, but also some vegetables; ok bitterness.
I miss a oomph (is it too flat?) here, but it’s not bad.

Hazy dirty blonde. Lightly spicy, but also really thick and sweet, with cloying sugars and paint-like phenols. Gotta ferment that more, chewy up those sugars.

Draft - Fruity Belgian yeast with a touch of spicy grain. Cloudy gold with a small white head. Light sweet grains and yeasty notes. Not great.

On tap at Callister. Pours a hazy pale golden with a weak white head. Aroma is flowery, slightly grassy, typical for Saison. Taste is slightly sour, flowery hoppy bitterness. Same bitterness aftertaste. Very good.
