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.

Aromas are kind of an odd, interesting fun mix of herbal, sweet and savory. Add in a little bit of skunk weed and a cheeseburger. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, gets sweeter and weed comes out more. Slightly soft carbonation and full body. Some bitter in the finish. Not bad.
