Willrunforbeer beer with the share. 32 oz. Bottle was NOT placed in a brown paper bag. Clear gold color with lasting head. Aroma is corn husk, yeast, straw.

The body is medium side with big corn finish. Dear lord, this is one bad ass malt liquor. Could be the smoothest I ever had. Could be the best ever... Perhaps I need to try more.

Draft at Earth Eagle on a guest tap. Pint glass shows Amber color with some light lasting head. Aroma is earthy malt, agave and the faintest hint of pepper.

The body is medium with a slightly sticky texture, the agave is unmistakable. This is a good thing because it keeps the heat of the pepper at a lower level. The chili pepper is only found mildly in the finish. Not sure but my friend even said that the pepper was mild. I’m not a huge fan of chili pepper in my brews but this was still drinkable for me.

Marshmallow peeps, lemon zest, aroma, pleasant Belgian phenolics. Crystal clear deep amber, thick sticky head. Lemon zest, clementines, strong dried apricot. Medium to full body, soft carbonation. Not hoppy at all, but whatever yeast strain they used, I love it. Lots of fun fruitiness.

650 ml bottle purchased at Craft Beer Cellar. Color is a orange/ gold with thin lasting head. Aromas are spicy yeast, ripe fruit, and mild pine or citrus hops.

The flavor shows the hops first twitch the spicy yeast coming in the back. Bitterness is much greater then it would be in a traditions saison. After this style is really damn loose anyhow. Bitterness is lengthy and runs bone dry. The body is medium with bready chewy texture. Well, this brew is exactly as the brewer describes so that counts for something.

375 ml corked and crowned bottle. Hazy Amber orange color topped by a moderate Rocky beige head. Aroma has notes of treacle, sweet malt and resiny hops. Intense bittersweet resiny hops dominate the palate. Notes of lemon peel, tropical fruit and warming alcohol on palate. Soft, silky mouthfeel. Some earthy, yeasty notes in midtaste. Dry, peppery bitter finish.
