16 ounce can from Tavour. Hazy amber orange pour. Finger-high creamy beige head. Aromas of sweet malt, vanilla, allspice, cardamom and cinnamon. Flavor is light and bready, with notes of prior mentioned spices. Tastes like a bad cup of cold chai tea. Brief, bitter finish. Was expecting more. Meh!

Can from Tavour. Pours dirty hazy gold with a decent but transient white head. Aroma of pale non-bready malt and citrus with melon and other things. Med body. Juicy but towards dry. Decently bitter. The flavor composition is strangely mixed. Citrus, melon, coconut, earth, pith and on and on. I can't parse it completely. There's always something different coming up. Really good flavor tho.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear gold with a large foamy white head. Aroma of citrus and weed. Med body. A bit malty and pretty bitter. Flavor is citrus, weed, melon and an earth note. Some peach after a bit.

Armsby draught, 11/19/25, as pictured.
Rich bourbon is easygoing and not boozey. Barleywine element is darker, without the typical big toffee-caramel. More of a black barleywine, I guess. Bourbon spice, vanilla and light chocolate all playing well together.
Rich, big bourbon is dry and spicy. Unapologetically large in the flavor but absolutely delicious, with huge lead, vanillla, oak tannin and mild chocolate as the malt intertwines. Fruity cherry, light caramel and big vanilla lingering. Super malty but nice and dry. Well, I'm now a believer in FF's BA barleywines and stouts.

Armsby draught, 11/19/25. As pictured.
Funky and aromatic with a gin/lime character and rich barley behind it. Not too acidic, but also not really getting any traditional saison character (but also not getting any crude phenols/esters).
Rich and fruity with a very different character than the nose. There is plenty of actual saison yeast, and the real, cooler fermented stuff showing no clove and banana. Good acidity on the edges of the palate, but light. Deep texture with honey and rustic bread to easily balance. Super flavorful and interesting while also being very approachable, which is important for a style which has fallen out of favor. Sort of in the realm of what Oxbow is doing but softer, gentler, maltier.

Had this at Toronado. Hazy, chestnut colour, not much head. Soft, fruity, some caramel notes. Robust tannins and alcohol that balance the sugars. This is good shit.

17 oz. can from Total Wine in Greenville, SC. Thanks Kathy! Pours a mostly clear gold color with a white head and good retention. Very little lacing. Pale malt aroma. Very bready pale malt flavor with a smooth and clean finish. Very repeatable. Despite the name, this is a Festbier, not a Marzen. No caramel notes. Medium body. Medium carbonation. Low bitterness. Good beer.

Can from Tavour. Pours slightly translucent amber with a decent creamy tan head. Cinnamon wafts from the pour. Med body. Rather dry and cinnamon fills in for bitterness. There's a large veg component that does suggest sweet potato.
