Growler from the brewery. Clear bronze pour, with a big fluffy off white head. Strong pine resin aroma, huge caramel malts, light roasted cereal notes also. Very bitter finish, this is an old school IPA, earthy and quite malty, with big pine resin hop notes, light fruit, light toast. Good, but it's a big beer bordering on dipa territory.

Bottle from the brewpub. Very dark brown, with reddish hues coming through, and a small beige head. Sharp wheat aroma, light roast, grassy and hints of minerals. Lively mouthfeel, active carb. A very Belgian finish, minerals, bready malts, dark fruit. More of a dubbel than a saison really.
