On tap at Fair Isle, pours a clear pale pinkish copper with a small white head. Aroma is very laid-back, with soft wine barrel, rustic notes, and a touch of cherries. Flavour is very laid-back, with a touch of soft cherry skins, gentle vinous character, and rustic notes. Too much second-use character for there to be much to love here but it’s fairly well-done what it is.

On tap at Fair Isle, pours a hazy yellowish blonde with a small white head. Nose screams out with huge watermelon, followed by intense cucumber, rustic notes, and some mint. Flavour is likewise intense, with intense cucumber and mint upfront, followed by dry watermelon and rustic saison yeast. Highly carbonated and bone dry in a way that works very well. Odd experiment that works really well.

On tap at Fair Isle, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma has a wonderful wild yeast character, with musty grape skins, light champagne effervescence. Flavour is dry and musty, with a nice funky wild yeast character, musty grape skins, and light earthiness. Musty, vinous, dry finish. Smells better than it tastes but it’s still well-executed.

On tap at Chuck's - Seward Park. Pours black with a beige head. Roasted malts, wild yeast, and whiskey barrels. Flavour has a very nice, dry roasted malt profile, rustic yeast, and smokey whiskey barrels. I'm not really sold on the sour stout thing, but this is very well-executed.

On tap at Fair Isle. Pours murky pinkish-red with a white head. Light plums and gin botanicals on the nose. Flavour has a very earthy and juicy plum character with lots of botanical accents from the gin barrels, gentle acidity; the saison yeast more in the background. Interesting and enjoyable to drink.
