Crystal clear golden color in a dample glass. Aroma shows me, mild citrus, weak florals. The only problem I have with this brew is the body. The "session" styles can end up to thin and watery in body and mouthfeel. Unfortunately, this falls into that category. The flavor decent, hop profile is ok. But at 3.3% it is hard to het much from this.

Sampled at the source. Amber in color some lacing. Aroma is bready, toffee, "aged" malt notes. Flavor is proper to the style. Old malty tones, English ale yeast, English toffee, grain. Body is about medium with lingering bread notes.

4 oz. sample at the source. Cloudy, hazy gold. Aroma is mild spicy yeast, weak citrus, pale grain.

Mouthfeel is good. Crisp with a light spicy yeast pop. Citrus is refreshing, yeast has a nice presence. This is much better then the "dry levee" for my palate. Love the crispness!

Draft, 4 oz.sample great clarity, cystal clear gold, spotty lace. Aroma is fresh citrus, tangerines, grapefruit, lemon peel.

The flavor follows the aroma, almost a carbon copy. Carbonation is tight with a great tingle over the tongue. Bitterness is moderate with lightly lingering grapefruit. Good

Sample at the source. Amber color, thin head. Aroma is rye, herbal, weak yeast.

Flavor shows a lot of sweetness. Rye is here but also lots of caramel like sweetness. Thinner body with a slick texture. A bit much in terms of malt for the style but still drinkable.

Draft at the source in a 4 oz. taster glass. Lots of small carbonation bubbles that faded fast in a slightly hazy golden liquid. The nose has light pale grain but it is mostly light and piney.

Nice balance in the flavor, with lightly sweet pale grain with the finish turning into piney hops. Mild bitterness that does not linger for long. Medium "plus" body that shows a good malt to hops ratio.

Draft at the source in a 4oz. taster glass. Clear ruby in color with some lasting head retention. Aroma is cherry skin, yeast, and grain.

The flavor shows the above mentioned cherry skins with a light yeast presence. The yeast’s main character is fruit and that is ok. The texture is grainy with the fruit lingering in the finish. Maybe a tad high in the malt department for the style. Overall, it is rather easy to drink.

Draft at the source in a 4oz. taster glass. Light brown in color with fast dying head. Aroma is mild English malt with a trace of yeast.

The flavor shows me light toffee with a earthy malt aftertaste. The texture is slightly dry. Very low bitterness but it is here. Overall pretty easy to drink with some flavor for the low gravity.

4oz sample at the source. Mostly clear deep golden color with a frothy rocky white head that persists. Light pepper and clove with some faint bready crackery malt underneath. Could be a hint drier but pretty tasty.

4oz sample at the source. Mostly clear dark brown with a lightly bubbled white head that persists. Aromas of light caramel clove and spice. Flavor is sweet bready caramel, a bit too sweet imho for any Saison. Faint spicy clove and pepper flavor. Not a fan.
