Bottled 5/8/17 - this murky amber brown brew has a very small head and very much smells of red wine. The flavor is lightly sweet and bready with subdued saison funkiness and mild oak. Grapes are noticeable but not as strong as the aroma suggests. It’s pretty good though it’s likely past its prime.

Hazy pale yellow pour. It’s a gusher. Aroma is of spicy yeast, lemon, and horse blanket. The flavor is of funk, spice, lemon, and bready malt with moderate bitterness at most, but the hops may have faded some as I think it’s a bit old. It tastes more like a saison than an IPA. Interesting. High carbonation. Still pretty good.

Pours hazy pale yellow green with minimal head and a mild tart aroma. The flavor is light and mildly tart. There’s some malty sweetness and fruity character. Watery. Drinkable but less than impressive. The ratings are good enough that it makes me wonder if I just got a bad one.

12 ounce can from Flanagan's. 9/10/20. Clear gold, large foamy white head, good retention. Aroma of tart funk, lime, coriander, apple. Taste is juicy lime, grapefruit, salt, funk. Medium bodied, crisp. Kind of a tequila vibe, with that salt and lime. No smoke detectable. Medium bodied, bright, crisp, juicy. Solid.

Big yellow pounder can for two-fitty. Nose is rather neutral. Wow from the first taste I found this so enjoyable and refreshing, from its clear pale yellow look to its sizzling tart effects on the palate. Big white head. As a tart beer enthusiast, t'was hoping for something good and I got it. Quite good, better than expected. Hard to find any negative effects in this and its even harder to taste any alky in it, heheh. I guess that's why they want to drink a pounder, hey, hey. Lovely fun and easy, tart is so nice in brews. This almost has a wild attribute about it. Gose? Not here, its lacking any salt that I can detect. Yummy overall beer experience. Not bad. Should have picked up a few of these pounders.
