Draft. A- Straw, light. A- Light orange color, clear liquid, white head. T- Incense, mild spice, grains. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- Enjoyable for sure but I thought this had cherries in is. Just cherry tree bark, thus virtually no actual cherry flavor. That aside, this was very drinkable.

Torst draught, 4/28/23. Clear, ruby-tinted chestnut. Small, beige head to ring. Don't know what Elecampane is but I don't get any glaring adjunct in the nose. Mostly a lightly toasty, mild brown ale. Fruity yeast on the finish. Maybe the root gives a touch of spicy (but not overly) daikon like note? Clean, no alcohol, no hop notes. Soft, almost licoricey, malty, good attenuation. Lighter bodied. Fruity yeast, low specialty malt. Choco-licorice finish. Dull spice. Super interesting!

Sampled at The Roost pours a clear gold, big white head. Nose is mild, some light citrus and leafy green hops, some light candy and saison esters. Flavor is clear saison, candy and peppercorns, DuPont all the way, grain, the hop is leafy, more green tea than West Coast. Finishes just off dry, medium bodied. Solid solid table beer.
