Poured from 375mL bottle (2022 vintage; side by side with 2024 vintage). Clear-ish amber brown with very minimal beige off white head. Soft caramel and toffee malt with feint oak (2024 has more of a charred wood). This one is a bit softer, also doesn't have the estery bubble gum of 2024. Prefer the 2022 overall.

Poured from 375mL bottle (2024 vintage; side by side with 2022 vintage). Clear-ish amber brown with very minimal off white head. 2024 has a fair bit more wood, some estery bubble gum notes, slightly harsh booziness, quite different than 2022. Prefer the softer nature of 2022 overall.

On tap at Ridgewood, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma is soft, with gentle herbaceous hops, doughy malt, and light floral character. Flavour has a soft floral hop character, doughy notes, and lightly bitter finish. Soft floral character defines this, with fresh doughiness. Good stuff.

On tap at Ridgewood. Pours clear gold with a white head. Lots of rustic saison yeast and grainy malts on the nose. Flavour has a very nice sausom yeast profile, very rustic, spicy, grainy; solid malt base. Very well-executed.

Bright gold. Thin head. Light biscuity, slightly bready malt aroma. On the palate, a fresh pilsner malt character, light bit of toastiness, like really low lov munich malt in there, lowish bitterness but just enough. They've studied the style, and done a pretty good job of getting that malt complexity and balance out of a relatively light beer.

Draft at Belmont Brew House. Clear golden pour, filmy white head leaves rings of lacing behind. Light hoppy aroma with citrusy notes. Taste is grassy, zesty, notes of lemon. Really smooth and super refreshing.
