Courtesy of tpd975. Pours deep dark brackish brown with thin tan head. The aroma is roasty dark malts and chocolate blending into notes of cranberries, ripe strawberries and other assorted fruits. Pleasing mild mix of aromas. The taste starts with a quick pulse of dark malts to chocolate malts to thick sticky malt sweetness and turns quickly toward somewhat unripe fruit tartness. This fruit tartness persists and rides all the way to the finish with notes of dark, sweet and chocolate malts showing up from time to time and growing some into the finish.

16 oz can from hellomynameis; Nose is sweet, apircots, and light belgian spices; urine yellow witha big yellow-tinged head; flavor has a little tartness, peppery spiciness, and alittle bitterness in the finish. Decent saison!

Thanks to Rogueone for sharing a can. The beer pours a lustrous orange-gold color with a medium white head that dissipates steadily. Thin rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus and earthy malt. Light-bodied with sweet citrus and peach flavors along with touches of malt and piney hops. The finish is fruity and malty and lingers. Proof positive that it is possible to make a flavorful and easy to drink low-ABV beer.

Can courtesy of pepsican (Furious as an added extra!). Pours a hazy reddish amber covered by a frothy, off-white head. Excellet lacing is left, but minimal retention. Wow. Aroma of pine and tangarine hops, raspberries and toffe. Taste is decently malty enough to combat the 99 IBUs that come in like a bunch of pine needles. Some orange towards the finish and a slightly nutty aftertaste that reminds me a bit of Macallan 12. Great can of beer, and a very rich and well balanced IPA. Slightly creamy mouthfeel with nice light bubbles. Wish I could get this stuff when I am in Texas, it would be a constant presence in my fridge...guess I have to settle for Gordon or Dales cans.

Courtesy theisti. Darkish golden, lightly carbonated. Aroma is spicy with candied fruit, honey and bubblegum. Flavor is simlar. Sounds complex but it comes across as tightly stuck together, a tad cloying, and a little overdone, not refreshing. More phenolic than it needs to be, perhaps.

Courtesy of tpd975. Thanks Greg. Pours a dark amber/black. Aroma is filled with cranberries and hops. Mouthfeel has hints of chocolate, tart and a little too bitter in my opinion.
