Aromas are on the mild side, citrus, resin, cat pee and malt. Flavors are similar to nose, leans sweet, but enough carbonation and bitter to work. Body is a touch thin, but finish is satisfying. Overall good beer.

Aromas are mainly resin with a little MJ, citrus and wet grain. Flavors are similar to nose, citrus and MJ come out a little more. Decent but not great.

Tap at 1840. Zesty bright saison yeast amped up with tropical Nectaron. Just what I want in a Grisette, lots of depth but remaining very drinkable, cool, refreshing. Nectaron leans it towards Belgian IPA sometimes. Good stuff.

Tap at 1840. Clean, easy body. Awesome wakatu tone, cool tropical white grape lime niceness, not held back by oats and wheat. Supremely drinkable and tasty. Not unlike a Cold IPA meets a NZ Pils.
