Wow, I’ve had the Saison on occasion and the Fennec is a pretty enjoyable brew from time to time, but this one with the added Citra hops in the cask put it over the top. Nice spice notes, overly hoppy. Enjoyed.

Draft. Poured a medium-dark, but clear brown color with a small off-white head. Aroma was roasted, with a very distinct nutty character to it. Flavor was malts, roast, and brown nut. A bit unrefined, but enjoyable.

Draft. Poured a dark, but clear brown color with a small, beige head. Aroma was very malty, with touch of spices (nutmeg and cinnamon come out). Flavor was very cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, medium-roasted malts. A Festivus for the rest of us.

Sampler from draft. Poured a very hazy straw color with a small white head. Pretty carbonated - almost looks like what you’d find in a champagne bottle. Aroma is a bready, mild hops. Flavor is mild, with a crisp taste. A bit more bitter than the regular Kolsch that they also serve.
