The beer is a pale, dull yellow. Cloudy, just able to see my fingers through the glass. Medium head, white and fluffy. A little lacing. The aroma is peppercorns, lemons and earth. Big fresh pale malt note. Lots of spice. Some grass. Taste similarly has plenty of saison yeast spice. Mild bitterness with a bit more in the finish. Nice simply sweet grains in the beginning but it dries out pretty well. More grass with just a touch of citrus. Very mild sour flavor bouncing around. Light feel with some body from the grain. Easy to drink and refreshing. Very nice saison if not terribly adventurous. Definitely can see the Thiriez influence.

The beer is a pale orangey amber. Moderately hazy. Looks like a medium white head but it’s a bar pour to the rim. The aroma is sweet lemons, mild raspberry and grape, mild grass and a bit of fresh pale malt in the background. Taste is clean and hoppy. Dry. It doesn’t knock you over the head but there’s still plenty of hop flavor in the beer. Tasty with a light, clean feel. Mild bitterness. Very refreshing. Extremely easy to drink. Perhaps, a bit too light overall but I think that was the point and it’s a very good execution.

The beer is a medium orangey amber color. Good clarity. Small white head, mostly fades after a minute. The aroma is packed with tropical fruit and floral hop sweetness. Big on mango, tangerine, rose, honeysuckle, grape, pineapple. Mild honey malt sweetness in the back. Taste is light and sweet with hops. Moderate bitterness, entirely reserved for the finish. It sorta seems a touch sweet but it’s there’s little malt character. It’s just full of sweet hoppiness. Easy to drink. No booze or astringency. Light, moderately oily feel. I sorta prefer their lighter hoppy beers but they make excellent IPAs and DIPAs, so my complaints are meant lightly. This is a tasty beer with tons of excellent hop flavor.

The beer is a darkened yellow. Quite cloudy. Medium white head, fine foam, and seems to stick around. The aroma is a fairly sharp mix of hop flavors. Lime peel, grass, some tangerine sweetness, pine, mild melon. Mild pale character anchors the taste, but the hops are the attraction. A little more tangerine but otherwise similar to the aroma. Not super sweet but juicy and flavorful. Rather dry. Refreshing, easy to drink. Medium bitter. A little creaminess in the mouthfeel. Normal carbonation. Good beer.

The beer is a bright pale yellow gold. Looks quite clear. Solid enough white head. The aroma is chock full of sweet hop flavor. Very juicy. Peach, grape, kiwi, mango, pineapple, tangerine, melon. Mild simple malt sweetness in the background. Particularly big on grape juice. Sweet cherries. The taste is low on bitterness, big on hop flavor. It’s not sweet, just hoppy without accompanying bitterness. Little malt character. Big fruity, juicy hop notes. Very easy to drink. Smooth with tasty hop oiliness.

Tons of hop flavor on the palate. Quite good. Not much malt character. Light feel. Better than other DIPAs from Cellarmaker. Very tasty stuff.

Black in color. Light brown head, smallish. Fades pretty quickly but it’s a small bar pour. Mild neutral smoke. Lots of chocolate, some caramel, a little graham cracker. Tasty dessert stuff. Fairly sweet. Really nice flavor. Big on chocolate with light but firm bitterness. Light smoke, really helps cut the sweetness. Nice thick feel, fairly low carbonation, I think. I’m never quite sure if these bigger beers are actually lower carb or just heavier. New batch 12/6/2016 (bottles) - Even better than past batches. Real, real good.

The beer is a nice classic light amber color. Seems pretty clear. Medium white head. Fine foam. Pineapple and tangerine juiciness in the aroma. Very much in line with Cellarmaker hoppy beer character. Light feel. Fairly juicy hop taste. Lots of pineapple, mild caramel, a little lime, big tangerine, mild pine. Yet another tasty IPA from Cellarmaker. They might be a bit repetitive but I’m not complaining.

The beer is a rather pale yellow. It’s fairly cloudy. Nice white head. Lots of fine foam. Good lacing, retention, etc. The aroma is sweetly hoppy with a nice yeasty background. Mild pale malt sweetness. The hop aroma is pleasant and juicy but doesn’t hit you over the head. Tropical fruit and citrus with a little grass. Pineapple, tangerine, grape, blueberry. Good stuff. It’s dry and light on the palate. Nice refreshing dose of hop flavor. Light malt character though there’s little sugar behind it. Very light feel. Super easy to drink and refreshing. Perfect for a hot day.
