Subtle haze on a pinkish colour. No head. Aroma has butyric and some berries. On the palate, same…decent berries but also butyric.

Can. Not sure what this style is, but here goes! Bright hop nose, lots of stone fruit and tropical fruit, especially melon and orange. Hazy gold color. Rich, deep fruitiness in the flavor. Hops really lead. Estery. Soft, light body. Nice.

Funky Fauna Glee of 1000 Otters
Fresh Hop West Coast Saison 5.8%

It’s a beautiful hazy ultra pale gold with thin wispy foam. The aroma is saison spice and bright tropical hops. This beer is bang on with sweet pineapple candy notes in the finish after tangy spicy white pepper saison notes.

On tap at Chuck’s Greenwood, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma is dominated by the spruce tips, with bugs, acidic stone fruits, and some berries. Flavour is buggy, acidic, and woody, with plenty of spruce trips, berry skins, and stone fruits. Too acidic and lacking complexity. It’s not bad but it’s somewhat messy, and there’s little to appreciate here.

On tap at Chuck's - Greenwood. Pours cloudy pale orange with a white head. Punchy wild yeast, apricots, and some berries on the nose. Flavour has a pleasant wild yeast character, some apricots, tart berries. Not particularly complex on the palate, but decent enough.

Can, at the March 2025 DCBeer share. Poured a slightly hazy dull yellow color with a medium sized white head. Not much of an aroma, but a slight tartness. It's some funky yeast character, light tartness, not too acidic.. A little bit of fruit. Effervescent.

Burk. Härligt lättdrucken utan att sakna komplexitet. Lätt fruktig, nästan lite söt, även om syrligheten och torrheten är mer framträdande. Börkärnor, dova frukter, lätt fatkaraktär.

Lys gul tåkete med hvitt skum. Lukter blomster, sitrus, stikkelsbær og trevirke. Smaker grapefrukt, stikkelsbær, brød og fat. Middels lang.
