Brewery draught, 10/3/25.
Clear, deep honey-golden. Persistent, creamy, white head.
Nose is soft pear and rich, honey. Clean and mildly spicy with no crude esters/phenols. Mostly malt, apple and pear esters with light black pepper phenols.
Rich and malty, especially for its size. Clean and snappy with a true saison quality. I don't think I get any clove at all. Seems they've really refined their brewing since Johnieee had it. Fruity, soft, flavorful and balanced. No bubble gum either.

Cask On, 3/30/24. Hint of haze. Auburn. Good-sized, off-white head. Good retention. Fruity, quite heavily yeasty. Very bready. Not much in the way of hop. Low toast. Lightly malty, still a bit yeasty in texture. Lightly bready, almost no hop, but no toastiness either. Just base malt, ester, and a hint of yeast and bitterness.

Can, huge thanks Travlr for sharing this with us at Ambasada on the RBESG23 pub crawl! Brown body, off-white head - not much of it. Flowery, spicy aroma with some caramel malt. Soft, flowery taste, malty as well - light caramel and tobacco, some phenolic touches, spicy. Nice enough!

4 oz. pour on tap at Keep NH Brewing fest. It's a pretty yellow with nice finger-width white head and nice lacing. Aroma is citrus, candied fruit, good strength. Taste is candied fruit, a smidge of smokiness(?), citrus, stone fruit. Mouthfeel is typical NEIPA. Overall, not super complex but good strength of aroma and flavor.

4 oz draft at “Keep NH Brewing” The flavor profile is a perfect Pilsner. Pills malt backbone, mild lemon, and very, very soft grassy hops. Crisp texture.

On tap at the source. Poured into a dimpled mug mostly clear deep golden color with a huge, almost too huge, bubbly white head. Rich bready crackery maltiness with bits of earthy floral hops to counter. Nice quaffer.
