Ugly haze, not much head. Dull amber-brown. Not a good like. Smells nice, caramelly crackery malts. Sweet and with a soft caramel and just a touch of toastiness. Still something not quite right.

Hazy and a bit dull, with a thick, rich head. Has a nice saaz, slightly doughy, just a bit of hop.

Sweet and fruity. Classic Alex saison, sticky, sweet, poorly attenuated and with nothing else much positive to offer.

Pours clear gold into a Sam glass. Bright white head with excellent retention recedes leaving soapy lacing. Mango, marshmallow and cantaloupe aromas. Sweet, soft caramel, lemon/lime and bitter earth front to back and into the dry medium length finish.

Sample at homebrew club last night. Hazy deep yellow color with a thin white head. Earthy spicy wheat malt on the nose and in the flavor. Earthy pine tropical citrus hoppiness counters. In my opinion the body is horribly lacking and feel’s a bit watery, I’m not a fan.

Draught at Buk’s Boston, 3/21/17.
Light hay-flaxen golden body shows a very light haze and a small, white head atop with moderate retention.
Pineapple, grainy cereal mixed with buttercream and lightly juicy melon and mango all show off a lot more depth than expected from this hop. The malt is interesting as well, and despite there being some obvious diacetyl here, it certainly adds an interesting character to the beer.
In the mouth it’s juicy with light popcorn at times but yet somehow still endearingly enjoyable. Mango, lime, kiwi and such with honey, cereal-like character and a soft, malty texture. Good dryness, no alcohol, no resin and low but engaging carbonation. Weird but good. Or very good but with some diacetyl, is perhaps more accurate.
