16.9 oz bottle. Aroma is this crazy funky hoppy thing; I’m getting seedy berry jam, grapefruit, latex, pine--very unique. Clear golden pour with a medium white lacy head with great retention. Taste isn’t as nice, but it’s still different than your average IPA. Medium bitterness, citrusy, earthy. A little thin. Really good overall.

375mL bottle, pours a cloudy rusted reddish amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out tart dark fruits, lots of oak, and medium acidity. Flavour is well-balanced, with less acidity than the blonde, with notes of oak, a touch of white wine, and low-to-medium tartness. Not terribly complex, but fairly well constructed and in balance. Not a whole lot to this, but it's not bad.

375mL bottle, pours a cloudy gold-tinted blonde with a very small white head. Nose brings out loads of white wine barrels, oak, with some acidity and medium tartness. Flavour is along the same lines, with lots of white wine, medium-to-high acidity, medium tartness, and lots of oak. Immensely oaky, vinous and rather acidic. Fairly complex and not subtle in any way, but it's quite nice.

375 mL corked bottle poured. Bottled only a couple weeks ago, which is always nice. Pours a cloudy yellowish color with a swirling white foam head. Big lemon citrua, belgian yeast aroma. Flavor comes off as heavy belgian to me as well, with a lot if citrus flavor bite. Juicy orange flavor late in the palate. Tasty saison for sure. Good stuff.

Another winner from pFreim. Pours a clear yellow color with a small white head. A big fruity nose, dank and some biscuit. The flavor is sharp resin, dank fruity hops, sweet honey touched soft biscuit malty base. Pretty balanced. Very smooth and delicious. Awesome beer. So damn smooth.

Bottle poured. Pours a clear pale color with a ton of head and lacing. Crisp, light bready flavor with a little apple. Cool finish. A little more flavor than your typical pilsner in my opinion. Cracker like flavor finish as well. Tasty pilsner for sure. One of the better I’ve had in my short lived experience. I’d totally drink this again.

Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver
Light amber color, clean. The aroma is fresh and fruity, hints of strawberry and grapes. Lean mouthfeel, rather dry, but not weak; very good malt base, a bit spicy because of the rye, and the hopping is excellent, providing plenty of resiny and fruity quality. Very high bitterness level.
Very good.

Slightly hazy golden and light copper coloured body with a very thin, off-white head. Aroma of yeast, brett, coriander seed, curacao and a bit of hops - not too much though. Medium-bodied; Assertive curcao and coriander seed coupled with the light hop note and a lot of yeast. Aftertaste shows more of a grassy and herbal flavour than pine or herbs, but a lot of yeast and coriander seed is noticeable throughout. Overall, a nice beer with a complex profile and not expected for the style, typically. I sampled this 50 cL bottle purchased from Zupan’s in Portland, Oregon 02-May-2015 for US$5,99 sampled in my hotel room, two days later in Portland, Oregon on 04-May-2015. Bottled on 21-April-2015.

Draft pour at Frankies pizza. Pours a clear pale yellow color with a foamy head. Very nice hoppy aroma. Beer is very true to its name. Lighter body with a lot of flavor and very little bitterness to it. Great summer beer for sure. Great stuff.
