On tap at the Thirsty Monk. Pale yellow pour, with a medium, frothy, white head. The aroma is white bread, damp grass, and some vanilla extract, if you’re searching for it. The flavor is mild sweetness, and an abrupt bitterness. Medium to heavy body, hard, and chewy. Overall, this is a terrible attempt at a saison. No subtlety or depth to the aroma, and the flavor is unpleasant. The palate is harsh, making this difficult to drink. Not a fan.

Brewvival Trip Beer 3. Served on draft at Mellow Mushroom Asheville. Pours a clear dark brown color with a thin head. Decent head retention. Aroma of huge bourbon notes, booze, chocolate, soy, wood, minty hops. The taste is big whisky, big booze notes, chocolate, roasted malts, soy, tart fruits. Way too hot, and disjointed. I guess this is what they mean by hot mess.

Tap at the Bier Garden, Asheville. Amber-brown, filtered ruby. Thin oily off-white head. Deep sweet pumpkin-pie aroma. Rich malty tones, but even richer cinnamon and nutmeg tones. Solid offering, everything you could want in a pumpkin ale. Nice.

12 ounce can shared by Mama V. Thanks! Pours a hazy amber color with a thin creamy white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of toasted malts, corn, nutty notes. The taste is very similar with a grassy finish. Medoum bodied and refreshing. Nice cream ale.
