The aroma is not bad malt with just a hint of hops, has good foam on a clear copper body. Flavour is light malt, some lemon, mellow grain notes. Mouthfeel is full. This is a sleeper brew, very nice though subtle.

Cloudy yellow body and tiny foam, soft detergenty strawberry on the nose. Gets better as it warms up, these guys serve their beer too cold. Flavour is indeed sour strawberry, though thin and somewhat chaotic. It seems correctly brewed but is nothing you haven't seen before. Hell, I'll drink it.

Cloudy yellow body and tiny foam, smells like those corn bugles you get at the gas station. Flavour is more corn bugles mixed into a sweet hop slough. The dryness doesn't play well here. Wonky.

Soft hops and some coral on the nose, mellow clear gold body and small foam. Flavour is reasonably bright hops, some sweetness. Dry grain finish. Nice, not too complex but certainly sessionable.

Lighter clear copper and little foam, soft orangey malt on the nose. Flavour is very soft malts, a bit of plastic ashtray. Reasonably dry mouthfeel. Seems thin, could be sweeter and punchier.

Chewy banana on the nose, medium gold and soft foam. Flavour is sharp grains, bit of hay, more banana. Nice dry grain mouthfeel. Pretty good saison, one of their better beers.

The aroma is sweet sugar and something like fresh dates on the nose comes through. Has a clear medium gold body and just a little bit of white foam. Flavour is sweet sugar, vague grains and more hops. Mouthfeel is okay and the alcohol is well hidden yet the whole thing is too sweet and lacking real flavour, at least you don't notice the high alcohol.

Has a soft funky lemon aroma, a soft medium gold body and minimal white foam on top. Flavour is very sugary grain and definitely on the overbearing side. Mouthfeel is full but the aftertaste linger. This is okay but the high alcohol is tripping over itself.

The aroma is big juicy sweet hops. Has a muddy orange body with barely any foam. Flavour is nice juicy hops, sweet and fresh. Mouthfeel is a little watery but not excessively so. This is an okay pale ale, missing malts as usual though.

On tap at the brewery. The aroma is that of soft varnished cedar. Has a weak orange head and very little foam. Flavour is big oozy hops, very candy-ish. Mouthfeel has this kind of lingering aftertaste but the high alcohol is well hidden. This is nothing to write home about, ultimately it's still an overbearing hop and alcohol bomb.
