Can from 7-11 Just shy of clear light golden with a huge frothy white head that persists. Sweet bready crackery pilsner maltiness with a solid shot of earthy spicy floral hops. Very well made American interpretation of a German pilsner, but just a hint too heavy handed with the hops imho, but I still enjoyed the hell out of it.

Bottled 8/9/15, drunk 12/21/16.
Pours a brassy-gold with light copper and a medium-sized white head with moderate retention.
A fair amount of pepper phenols are notable, alongside yellow apples, nectarines and a bit of caramel and traces of wheat. It’s got the makings of a good saison, and there’s no big sour or tart notes to throw it off, but there just isn’t quite enough yeast expression and the beer tapers off in to a weak, caramel-laden finish.
Malty again in flavor with a light carbonation and reasonably soft texture. Vaguely grassy, fruity and sweet. Passable, but nothing particularly elegant or expressive going on here as far as good saisons are concerned.
