From a cask at the brewery. Aroma has a moderately strong floral and herbal hop character that works well with the spicy phenolic notes from the yeast. Medium light fruitiness with pear, tropical fruit and red apple. Light graininess. Pours a cloudy yellow gold with a small white head of moderate thickness that recedes fairly quickly. Moderate lacing and faint legs. Flavor is similar to the aroma with a light sweet graininess and a touch of cracker character. Moderate ester character with a lot of pear, light tropical fruit and citrus. Hop notes are lighter but they still add a nice spicy herbal quality that works well with the phenolic pepper notes from the yeast. Moderate bitterness. Light to medium light tartness in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium low carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall a very enjoyable beer, especially if you like the spicy, herbal hops. Nice yeast character that works well with the hops. Light malt character compliments.

Tap@SARA. Pours almost milky golden, small white head, decent lacing on the glass. Aroma is a citrus bomb, as advertised, dank and strong, pine notes in the background. Flavor is lightly sweet, a bit dry actually, light bitterness, juicy. Finish is try with little lingering bitterness. Medium body, smooth mouthfeel. Nice not-quite session beer.

Bottle. shared @SARA. Pours cloudy chestnut, small tan head, decent lacing. Aroma is tart cherry, oaky, a bit of barnyard funk. Really opens up as it warms. Flavor is light sweet, light tart, some funkiness but not strong, lots of oak tannins, but not much astringence. Fairly light body, drying finish. Let this one breathe a bit if you want to enjoy it.

Tap@SARA. POurs hazy golden, small white head and nice lacing on the glass. Aroma is peppery, grass, some unusual fruitiness. Flavor is the same, not really complex in any way, but a simple clean saison. Medium body, refreshing, but nothing special.

Very cloudy. Sticky foamy head. Nose is pine cones resin and tangerine. Yeah, uber resinous. Sticky dank and full of pine needles. It’s as expected. Finishes harsh. I’m not a fan of these but it’s still nice

Light yellow. Minor haze. Persistent head. This is a great smelling beer. Chinook citra and simcoe? Taste is minor medicinal. Very juicy. Very bright and the finish is very sweet. Piney but in no way the detracts. Pretty damn good.

Pretty black in the glass. Head is frothy almost with specks of white and brown. Creamy almost. Stale espresso beans, milk and Oreos. Very toasty throughout. Taste is very toasty. Mineral like mouthfeel. Coffee exploded in the middle and finishes long and smooth. Minor sweetness. Cocoa cookies. Very drinkable porter but very hard to drink a lot of it.
