Hazy bright yellow pour, with a large white head.
Quite an upfront hoppy aroma with some light citrucy spice. Light corriander, with some light exotic fruit. Lively carb, refreshing, and a bright mouthfeel.

On Tap at the brewpub. Dark brown pour with a very small beige head. Aroma of brown sugar, dark fruits (figs, and plums, touches of apple).
Flavor is quite bready, with some nice chewy malts, and quite a bit of brown sugar, finished with some more of the fruit. Slight astringent finish with some some slight metallic flavors.

Quite a bit of citrus in this one! Lots of orange, lemon, and some spices.
Flavor is quite forward with some corriander, and more of the distinct citrus. There are touches of oak, but not much. Pretty much just a citrucy saison.

Tap Brewpub.
Light peppery nose, light citrus, with some very light funk. Flavor is dominated by the citrus, and light pepperiness of the saison, and honestly the brett is tough to find. A nice saison, but in my opinion the brett didnt do much.

Just boat loads of roasted malts, burnt malts, soy, charred burnt espresso. The amountof roast and char in here is quite impressive. There is a noticeable green leafy hop shot in the background and finish. The bitterness is quite high, but super pleasant with the incredible roast, and a touch of bitter cocoa to finish it off.

dark brown/purple pour, with no head. Aroma of............wow.........beets! Its got the dirty earth aroma of a bottle of beets! The flavor is more of the same. A deep earthiness, and a touch of some bitter malts. Interesting stuff, if you love beets as much as i do, this is a real treat.

amber red pour, light white head. Big piney hop aroma, some light malts, and a sweet touch of caramel. flavor is quite bitter, some great resinous piney notes with touches of citrus. Medium bitterness in the finish, an overall excellent refreshing IPA.

Subtle piney, citrucy hops in the aroma mixed well with some roasted malt in the flavor. Interesting take on the style.

Nice aroma of raspberry, and a touch of yeast. The flavour is thin though. It doesnt live up to the aroma, but its decent, a god summer beer.
