Bottle thanks to Chow. Pours a hazy orange gold with small white head that lasts. The aroma is strong brett, floral, oak. Thin body, berry, oak, brett, light dry finish, very good.

Poured from a 375 ml bottle, vintage 2018. Aroma is fruity with a medium light grape note, some light strawberries and a bit of citrus. Some light stone fruit and tropical fruit notes. Hints of oak and grain. Light phenolic, herbal note. Pours a hazy, copper color with a medium small, thick, white head that recedes quickly to the edges where a clump lingers for a bit. No lacing or legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with a medium light acidity and a moderately dry finish. Light oak and medium light Cab Franc notes with some light strawberry notes. A bit of a musty phenolic note with a light herbal character. Hints of some fruit. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, an alright saison but it's not amazing. It's one of the better strawberry beers though and doesn't give off any weird plastic notes.

Ultra clear amber with a white head. Sweet and tangy fruit, yeast, light spice notes. Finishes with some citrus and grapefruit. Elegant.

On tap. Pours black with short tan head. Aromas of creamy chocolate and roasted malts. Flavors of dry black coffee, vanilla, sour dark cherries, and oily roasted malts. Maybe some woody effects. A bit of an odd mix but tasty.

Draught at St. Augustine's, Vancouver; listed 4.5% ABV
Golden color, clean. He aroma is gently fruity. Dry mouthfeel; good malt base, and the adjuncts are sensibly added, each providing an evident character yet blending together. More Sour than Saison, given the strong citrusy character.
Very good.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a clear copper with a small off-white head. Aroma is fairly spicy, with equal parts coriander and fennel, not getting much clove or orange. Decent amount of earthy saison yeast as well. Flavour is very cohesive, with a great blend of spices - specifically the coriander and fennel. Light citric character from the oranges well. It all sits on top of that classic Propolis yeast character, with an earthy tinge to it. Very good.

Bright, amber. Thin head. Looks nice. Has a mellow malty nose. Sweetish, toast, some lighter sugars. Fairly dry for the style. An interesting example. But I'm not sure I actually like it.

Hazy and dull. Not much head. Bretty and spicy...the propolis house character. Quite tart, but there's also some toffeeish element to the malts. Still ends up tart, bretty and woody but I'm thinking a maltier base than some of the others.
