Slightly hay golden with a white, fizzy head. Fruity aroma with nice spice, yeast, and light bright notes. Medium effervescent body. Flavor follows the aroma with more pronounced spice and bright fruit notes. A very flavorful saison but just a bit muted in the flavor. Highly enjoyable.

Sample during the "Bob’s Private Bottle Share" on 11/21/2016. Clear golden color with a medium white head that burns away quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing. Fruit, yeast and malt in the nose. Medium body with flavors of tropical fruit, yeast, doughy malt and slight pepper. The finish is mildly tart with a fruity aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

Can shared by Pruf. Pours with no head. Thick orange color, moderate clarity. Aroma is sweet candy hops and I swear I smell rice. Flavor is not bad sweetness but it covers all the hops. I like the sweetness but it’s not the way I like my DIPAs, you know, with actual hop flavors. The bullshit on the can is also a bit too much to stomach. Upside, a DIPA that berko hasn’t had.
