Tasting at Brian’s. 500ml bottle (thx, Farees!). Pours a dark brown with a beige head. Aroma is slightly fruity and sour, roasted malt. Taste is pretty the same. Not very sophistocated and quite rough stuff.

Bottle, mildly pink overlaying a mild blonde, and it’s wait for it, mildly cloudy. Good yeasty nose, mildly herbal, soft malts. Taste has decently yeast spice, an overall sticky fruity sweetness, which is not overwhelming, not much malt, bitter finish. It’s...alright.

Bottle - Sweet yeasty notes and light herbal notes. Cloudy gold with a decent white head. Very effervescent and fruity yeast notes. Hibiscus is almost not there at all.

Hazy light tan. Has a honeyish taste, a touch of dustiness, with a hit of peachy fruitiness. I am not sure if there is any hibiscus - maybe I’m crazy or something - but I like the balance to this.

500mL bottle, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of clove and banana upfront, followed by light saison yeast. Flavour is more saison-y, with some banana, lots of fruity esters, and saison yeast. Too sweet and estery, and not showing the hibiscus. Not very impressive.

Hazy honey and golden coloured body with a small, single centimetre tall pure white head with a bit of yellow glow at the right light. Aroma of honey, wheat, grass, flowers and much more honey - nice and light. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong herbal and floral flavours throughout the taste with some yeast, light fruit and some sugars noticeable near the end. Aftertaste doesn’t have much saisony flavours, but some dry flowers and grass is noticeable, along with a bit of herbs. Overall, a decent beer, but nothing special - still, nothing bad. I sampled this 50 cL bottle purchased a few hours ago from the LCBO on Spadina @ King Street in Toronto, Ontario, Canada for CA$3,95 sampled in my hotel room here in in downtown Toronto on 08-August-2016.

Bottle from the LCBO. Medium pinkish gold with a a one finger frothy white head that fades quickly. Nose is floral with some fruit including apple, banana and peach, along with the expected yeast and pepper. Flavour is lightly sweet fruit with a slightly more pronounced apple tartness and a well balanced spice. Mouth is slightly thin with active carbonation and a crisp fruity finish. Quite nice. 7/3/7/3+/14
