16 oz can from Spruce Creek Provisions. Again, no date coding on the can. Nose shows mild unripe fruits, mango notes, orange jam.
The flavor is much better than the Hipster Apocalypse That I just sampled. Decent amount of fruit notes. (light tropical, mellow citrus) The ABV is not exactly hidden but it is not slap you in the face either. Mostly average for an over 8 % Imperial IPA.

16 oz can from Spruce Creek Provisions.(newer can because stock doesn’t sit long at this store) However, no date coding on the can. Nose shows pine, grapefruit and abundant caramel malt. I was hoping for the best but really glad I only purchased a single can.
Flavors include orange marmalade, mild pine, more caramel malt hints that anyone should have brewing an IPA in 2017. Also light astringent bitterness. This reminds me of an APA from the year 2002. Entirely to sweet with just mild pine bitterness.

Can from 7-11 Hazy copper color with a huge frothy beige head that persists. a bit of over carbonation in the can it foamed over after opening. Spicy earthy pepper and clove on the nose with hints of caramel maltiness. The flavor is rich darker malts with bits of toast and caramel but also a little bit of oxidation. Spicy earthy peppery counters. Only my second roggenbier, it seems pretty well made, but its not really my thing.

Can from 7-11 slightly hazy light golden color with a decent sized bubbly white head that persists. Earthy pine and light citrus with bready and a hint of caramel on the nose. Flavor follows the aroma quite well and leaves a lingering bitterness in the finish. Solid IPA from a new to me brewery.

Draught at Canary Square, 12/6/16.
Clear blonde with light bronze and a hint of chill haze topped by a thin white head.
Hay, light wool sock, strong sugar and light caramel all seem rather unfocused and certainly not very saison-like. Light floral and pepper notes on the finish...
In the mouth it’s too sweet, with honey and caramel coming across much too strong for a saison. Light banana and clove don’t dominate, but there’s little here of elegance, with minimal black pepper and too much grassiness throughout. Low to moderate carbonation, somewhat thin in texture despite the surplus of sugar.

12 oz. can purchased at 7 Eleven, Kittery. Gold pour, white head. Aroma of yeast, bread, floral, lemons. Tastes are yeasty banana, hay, light herbal (peppery) finish. Also has a strong amount of bitterness or it could be the black pepper.
Light in body with a decent crispness after the sip. It is subtle, light and mostly traditional. Average.

12 oz. can purchased at Spruce Creek Provisions, Kittery. Born on date of 9/23/16. Nearly clear copper color brew, thin weak head. Aroma is large caramel, leafy hops, yeast.
Lots of caramel in the flavor. Bitterness is here without much actual hop flavor. Very thin body with a lot of caramel, much more than I look for in an IPA. Super thin and watery. Sorry, but this is a swing and a miss for me.

12 oz. can purchased at Spruce Creek Provisions, Kittery. Darker brown color, plenty for frothy white head. The aroma shows a big yeast presence that is damped slightly by earthy grain.
Flavor of earthy grain, mineral water, yeast, and mild toast. Body is thinner then expected with a mineral finish. Rye is a decent element throughout the sip. It is ok overall. Good grains.
