32oz growler courtesy of riversideAK, thanks Alex! It pours with a crystal clear deep gold body that supports a near white head of foam. The aroma offers up a mix of mango, juicy apricot, ripe white grapes and some hop spiciness. The taste is nice and juicy with hoppy goodness that is in the form of mango and tangerine mixed with sweet white grapes and earthy spicy hops. This hits first with malt sweetened flavor hops and then quickly launches into more and more hop bitterness. Tasty stuff with a pleasing balance of hop flavor and bitterness.

On tap at the Alibi Room for the 500th beer list, pours a near black / dark amber with a small tan head. Aroma brings out lots of yummy oats, chocolate, and light roast. Flavour is smooth and creamy, with smooth oats, chocolate and creamy roasted malt. Very creamy and smooth, with a lingering chocolate, caramely finish. Highly drinkable stuff. Excellent.

Cloudy pale blond color. The aroma is a bit lemony and orangey; the mouthfeel is not too weak or too dry; light wheat flavor with light spicy presence and some bitter orange peel; quite bitter overall.
It’s a regular Witbier (I would have expected a drier, cleaner and sharper beer to be defined Saison).

Draft - All grapefruit. Clear gold with a decent white head. Big bitter grapefruit. Can’t believe how fresh and leafy this is. Very nice.

Deep blond color, clean, with compact head. Malt aroma, simple. Good body strength, lean mouthfeel; some malt flavor with moderate sweetness; it has some more character than most North American attempts, and light fruitiness. Correct bitterness.
Well brewed.

On tap at Bottleworks, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Nose screams out some tangy hops, citrus and kiwi - smells more like an IPA. Flavour is awesome, bringing out loads of kiwi, astringent piney hops, and smooth biscuit on the back end. Finishes with quite a pronounced astringency from the hops on the finish. Super flavourful stuff. Excellent.

Blond, colour, clean. Some hay, dry grass, but I'm not impressed by the malt base, or the hopping.
Ok Beer.

Cloudy pale blond color with compact head. Crispy Pilsner, dry, the flavor is slightly better than the aroma, it also has a pleasant mild grassy hop touch.
Well brewed.

Deep blond color, hazy, with small head. Mild malt and hop aroma, a bit fruity. Soft mouthfeel, moderately sweet, with nice malt flavor, hints of toffee, light-colored caramel, strong hopping, quite fruity and reasonably resiny too.
Nice, because the malts are not heavy and dark.

Hazy blond color with compact persistent head. The hop aroma has some animal side. Smooth mouthfeel, dry but nice malt flavor in the background, strong bitterness; the hops are resiny, and a bit fruity and animal.
Good and fresh IPA.
