Draft pour to a tulip, enjoyed at Hop and Hound. I've been nothing but impressed with the beers from these guys so far with my limited exposure. Glowing golden pour, cloudy appearance, a very inviting aroma with lemon like notes, as well as plenty of tropical feel. Cool first sip, nice blend of tropical flavors here. The descriptors paired with the style had me worried this would be a soapy brew, but it doesn't come close for me. Really refreshing, even with a more dry finish. Not sour or overly funky. Delicious.

32 oz crowler poured, picked up at Hop and Hound. After being blown away with the first impression I got from these guys, I had to grab this one. Golden pour, a bit cloudy. Abeled as a standard saison, but i feel such thing does not exist. Also, this is no standard brew. Soft tart, some herbal and floral charaxter sits underneath a refreshing citrus tone. A good dose of lemon, just barely sour. Would never co sides thi a sour by any means though. A moderately dry finish, but a flavorful linger. Really interesting brew here. Really enjoyed this saison.

32 oz growler poured, filled at Hop and Hound, and listed as the first keg to leave the brewery. Awesome! Everything I've sampled so far has been amazing, and now that I got a full 32 oz of one, it likely became the record for fastest I've ever finished one. This brew is amazing. Golden orange pour, on the darker side, a moderate, off white foam head. Rich grains, and a slightly tart impression on the aroma. Very inviting. Cool forward flavor, touches of wheat, a funky constant. Hints of lemon bar, and tropical fruit, with no sweetness coming through. Just barely tart. Nowhere near a sour saison here. Really nice malt bill here. Full of flavor, and this has to be one of the most refreshing and enjoyable saisons I've had in quite a while. I really need to get down to Fair Isle and buy two of everything they have. Loved it.

Gdamn this is great, from a tiny bottle + a new brewery, big surprise. Fantastic yeast profile, citrusy funky nose, crisp tight lemony finish. Thanks Andy K. ! Great stuff on the way from these guys I imagine.

Bottle thanks to Chow. Pours a cloudy gold with medium white head that lasts. The aroma is strong floral, funky, straw. Medium body, lemon zest, funky, nice tartness, juicy, very nice.
