Sample during "Ellen's Blue Hair Birthday Bonanza!" on 12/12/2014. This brew pours a dark brown with a medium thick foamy tan head that diminishes gradually. Patchy lacing on the glass. Roasted malt, chocolate and coffee in the nose. Medium to full body with flavors of charred malt, dark chocolate and black coffee. The finish is roasty with a chocolate malt aftertaste. Above average overall.

Lightly hazy gold - lively pour - kind of heavy and sticky for a saison, wifh some heavy sweetness on the tail end - some zesty, grassy and floral hoppiness and dusty, earthy yeast try to redeem it, but overall this is a dense mess of a saison - finish is kind of hot and peppery - lingering sweet.stickiness - meh.

Pours clear golden with a small white head and some lacing. Aroma is sweet, Belgian yeast, orange zest and spices. Flavors are yeasty, sweet, straw, woody and bitter lemon
1/4" of yeast in the bottom of the bottle. This was decent, but would not search it out again.

12 oz can purchased at Aspen Wine and Spirits in Aspen, Colorado. The pour is a hazed orange golden with a small, well formed light tan head. The aroma is citrus pineapple fruit, touch of pine, earth, and a toasted malt. The taste is a nice balance between the toasted malt as well as the bright fresh tropical citrus fruit, the pine and general hop bitterness. Bit of residual sweetness. The palate is medium bodied, soft natural carbonation, and a dry lightly bitter finish. Easy drinking, nice IPA.

Shaker pint draft at the Brewery tap room in Aspen, Colorado. The pour is a hazed brown with a 1/2 inch light khaki head. The aroma is roast, dark chocolate, and a bit of char. The taste leads with the char mineral, along with pine hop and finishing with slight bitter dark chocolate. The finish shows some chalk in addition to the mineral. The palate is medium bodied with a dry finish. Solid porter.

Shaker pint draft at Matsuhisa in Aspen, Colorado. The pour is clear golden yellow with a smallish white head. The aroma is toast wheat grain, lemon citrus and a general grassiness. The taste is the nose, with decent balance between the wheat character, soft lemon citrus and finishing with the grass. The palate is light bodied with coarse carbonation. Finish is dry and grass. Decent, worked fine with Japanese.

Can @ Greg’s Pussy Palace. Pours a golden orange appearance with an off white head. Kind of herbal, grassy, grapefruity, floral aroma. Toasted malty, grapefruity creamy, lemon orange fruity, a bit herbal flavor. Aroma was a bit off but flavor was good.

Bottle @ home, picked up in Glenwood Springs. Pours a clear yellow appearance with a thin white head. Big grassy, hay, big pils malty, lemon, somewhat spicy aroma. Bubblegum, candy, lemon, white pepper, big banana, actually a bit sweet flavor. Not a total disaster but certainly not something I would purchase again.
