Tap at Tadg’s. Creamy nose, a bit lactic, lemony, crackers and a bit of chewy malt, spicy yeast. Hazy gold, low head. Light tartness, creamy malt flavor with lots of citrus and yuzu, spicy. Nice, but not up to the recent saisons I have had at the tap room.

Tap at Beach Muffin. Hazy deep gold color. Apple, pear and awesome yeast-driven nose. Juicy banana and light clove as it warms. Has a bit of body for a saison, but never boozy. Clean, wheat notes with good carbonation. Solid stuff. --- Beer merged from original tick of Choppy Saison on 10 Sep 2016 at 19:53 - Score: 8. Original review text: Classic Belgian saison!

Tap at Beach Muffin. Hazy straw gold. Tart lychee, lemon and bright sudachi on the nose. Tart citrus on the palate with some light orange juice notes. Clean and medium bodied. Low perceived bitterness with more citrus on the finish. Stellar! --- Beer merged from original tick of Petit Tart Saison on 10 Sep 2016 at 19:56 - Score: 8. Original review text: Light yogurty lemon and durian. Wonderful!

Tap at Beach Muffin. Hazy light copper color with a finger of fluffy foam. Mango and juicy citrus nose. Well-balanced and soft mouthfeel. A piney bitterness on the finish with a touch of pith. Nice, but the bitterness is a little overdone. --- Beer merged from original tick of Saison Anettai on 10 Sep 2016 at 19:55 - Score: 7. Original review text: Tropical nose, but a tad too bitter for my taste.

Bottle, fresh from the brewery. Beautiful hazy pink color with a high, airy head going quickly to lace. Nose is hibiscus, lemon, bit of dust, lightly funky. Very nice lemony tartness in the flavor, a bit of fruity sweetness, like cherry or apple, and then a dry, mineral, slightly dusty saison finish. Crisp, lemony, high bit light carbonation. Nice stuff.

light golden hazy color. Nice lightly sweet Apple nose with some smokey sweetness. I almost wonder if Apple rinds were put in. Kinda reminded me of smoked Apple soap in a glass but not in a bad way. Smooth and low hops. Decent stuff but not mind blowing

Tap at Beach Muffin. Lightly hazy gold with a finger of foam that dissipates fairly quickly. Biscuity malts with a slight sour edge. Belgian yeast and stone fruit as it warms. Lightly tart, with a bit of farmhouse character. Maybe a touch of honey sweetness mid-palate, then a bit of pepper on the finish. Nice and simple saison but great on a hot day at the beach. --- Beer merged from original tick of Saison d'Isshiki on 13 Aug 2016 at 13:28 - Score: 7. Original review text: Classic saison. Very drinkable

Tap at Beach Muffin. Pours a hazy chocolate brown with a finger of fine foam that lingers and then dissipates. Light jasmine notes with orange covered chocolate and light grass. Smooth and silky on the palate, almost creamy in a way. More chocolate followed by a touch of jasmine through the finish that lingers. Very tea-like in the finish. Floral finish. Great summer beer. Super light and refreshing, dry and never sweet or cloying. Really unique beer that I was hesitant about trying. --- Beer merged from original tick of Blowin' Through Jasmine on 13 Aug 2016 at 17:08 - Score: 7. Original review text: Loving floral jasmine nose with light grass and chocolate. Soft carbonation with a silky mouthfeel. Great for what it is!

Cloudy amber. Very yeasty, slightly sour, sour dough and puffed wheat. Fairly tart, not overly complex, lingering apricot and lemon candy at the finish m. Kinda weird, but decent enough.

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 6.5
Frothy white head. The nose is very focused on malt character. Slightly biscuity and sweet. Medium full body. Well made but the problem is that it is neither here nor there. What new world think an English pale ale should taste like.
