On tap at volo. Hazy orange pour with a slightly beige head. Aroma of juicy c hops, and some pale malts. Good mouth feel, and good carb. Medium bitterness, a wonderful summer ipa. Great citrus notes, and solid yet subtle malts.

Hazy yellow pour, with a small white, frothy head. Nice grassy, citrusy, peppery aroma. A touch of funk, and malted wheat. Lively carb, great mouth feel. The finish has that signature saison pepperiness, and some light funk, with great hoppy, grassy notes.

Cask Days 2012.
Big citrus notes, sweeter than bitter, some pine, and resins. Fruity, but not over the top, subtle, but not forgettable. Reminds me of a true west coast american IPA, but sweeter. Quite bitter finish with more hops, the grapefruit really comes through. nice stuff.

Tap at volo. Light piney hops, subtle tropical fruit, with some very light funk, and sourness. Carb is a little low for the style, and the body is a little too thick. The finish is sweeter than sour, and the finish is hoppier than funky. A little disapointing.

Great stuff! Was like cold coffee. Huge dose of espresso, light cocoa, and a little lactic. Light bitterness,and a great coffee aftertaste. Loved every drop.

Copper pour, small white head. Nice grassy hops, big citrus, pine resins. Not as grapefruity as i expected, but still quite nice. Some earthy hops come through in the finish with a solidmalt base to balace it all out.

Hazy yellow pour, fluffy white head. Lovely aroma, rye, spices, and citrus. Great peppery finish with some solid lively carbonation. A great saison. Could drink it on a patio all day.

Jet black pour, with a large beige head.
Big aroma of pine, resinous hops, and some bold roasted malts, with touches of espresso. Perfect mouth feel and carbonation. The finish was bitter, and incredibly roasty. Nice pine hoppy finish with a great coffee bite. amazing example of the style.

Cask at volo.
Got the bottle of the cask, the last glass. No head and a opaque and milky. Aroma was really nice, lots of fresh floral hops and lots of fresh fruit. Flavor was crisp, amd hoppy, with a good amount of bitterness. It got a little pithy near the end though, and a touch chalky. Probably because i got the bottle of the cask.
