Very nice floral aroma. Lots of Belgian yeast here. Pours clear golden with good head and lacing. Finishes with light sweet malt. Well-balanced and works well together. Light bretta. Tap at Volo for Zwanze Day.

Not as good for style as some of the others ones by Shacklands. Has a kind of grapefruit rind astringency which is a bit off-setting. Pours cloudy blonde without much head or lacing. Booze, tonic water and a little perfume here. Finishes a little woody astringent. Average carbonation. Tap at volos.

A hazed blonde ale with a thin white head. In aroma, nice fruity malt with smooth lemony notes, banana and cloves. In mouth, sweet fruity banana malt with cloves and berries, nice.

(Draught at Bryden’s, Toronto ON June 19th 2013) Pours a medium yellow, light haze may just be chill, decent pillowy white head that left a bunch of lace. Aroma grapefruit flesh, canned pineapple, catty, faintest yeast and grain behind but Citra owns the nose, slightly tart. Flavour has grapefruit rind, a bit of pineapple and a some catty hop funk to start, lightly bitter. Mid-palate dries with a sweetish malt lingering in the background, flavor has some citrus hop bitterness and light spice, earthy yeast plus some pale malt grains. Finish is fairly dry with a citra character lingering. Body moderate for a saison, carb also moderate for the style. Fresh, more Citra than saison and definitely on the "American Farmhouse" side of the style but a good alternative to an APA on a sunny day.

Great job here. Shacklands is really batting 10 for 10 so far. Pours slightly cloudy golden with good lacing and head. Some coriander in aroma with citrus tang and a touch of booze. Yeast as well. Soft carbonation. Slightly sweet finish. Tap at volos.

A hazed golden amber ipa with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet fruity caramel malt with meaty grassy hops, menthol and tropic fruits, strange. In mouth, a sweet fruity malt with mangoes, floral hops a big unbalanced.

Great job of style. Nice dose of floral hops and coriander that fills the nostrils before you even take a sip. Some nice sweetened malt, Belgian style. I’d definitely put this next to some of the Trou du Diable Belgian ales. Tap at brewpub.
