Bottle: Poured a clear light amber color ale with a nice large foamy had with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma of light fruity ester and rustic malt with some residuals sugars is quite nice. Taste is a mix between some light fruity ester with rustic malt light peppery yeast notes and some subtle zest notes. Body is lighter than style average with good carbonation. Well brewed overall and quite enjoyable even though the grapefruit notes are not as clearly evident as advertised.

Bottle: Poured a clear dark color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma consists of green citrusy hops with light piney notes. Taste is dominated by light citrus notes with some good piney notes and some medium roasted malt notes. Body is bit light for style with good carbonation. Great beer with more focus on the hops profile than the roasted malt side.

Pours a slight hazy deep amber with a small warm cap, not much retention, but some head stays on the top, and around the ring. Fruity aromas with caramel and some light alcohol, creating some burnt caramel desert nose. The alcohol is well blended in the taste with some fruity malts and nice mild hop bitterness. The rum barrel does add to this beer and can be tasted. Goes down smoothly with a beautiful warming feel. This is a great sipper and recommended on the back of the bottle with a cigar, cheeses or chocolate.

Flavor though is ordinary, not much roasted flavor and the hops are not very aggressive. No coffee, chocolate flavors either

Pours a hazy light golden colour with a white froth head that has decent retention and leaves foamy lace. Aromas of sweet citruses and mild Citra-like hops. You can feel more the zest of the grapefruit in the taste, but it is overall pretty mild (as the ABV is low). Like wanted, refreshing and very sessionable. A nice light saison yeast and mild bitterness. Well achieved and gets better as you drink it... slowly.

Aroma has wisps of grapefruit and hints of yeast. Flavor is dry, grapefruit is felt, bit of pepper but the saison character is non-existent
