Canned 9/27/24, drunk 12/28/24.
Nice to see LN is still canning. Clear coppery-brass. Big white head slowly to spotty cover.
Ahh, nice to see some things never change. Big ol face full of diacetyl. And honestly, it's damning for the style, but I kind of love it. Buttery and rich...the good diacetyl expression, if you will. Plentiful bright, herbal, aromatic hops and rich malts behind it.
Rich, malty, hoppy, buttery. Sure, the bright, dainty, peppery-herbal hops are at odds with the buttery diacetyl, but I still love it. Classic kolsch yeast notes and rich, deep malts for days with good attenuation and tight carbonation. This isn't GABF so I'm giving it a high score, as I think it's satisfying and barely problematic.

750 mL bottle drunk 8/12/23. Clear copper-bronze. Medium-sized, white head slowly fades to nothing. Brett and sacch share space with a rustic grains and minerality. Great strength of aroma with plentiful black pepper. Clean. Big burst of sacch acidity is very enjoyable received initially. Deep, biscuity malts are well attenuated and there is apple, pear and stone fruit ester aplenty with black pepper and just-emerging Brett acidity. Another elegant Brett saison from these guys...

750mL bottle drunk 8/12/23. Clear blonde-honey. White head slowly to ring. Good saison characteristics with great sacch and deep, honey rich malts. Very, very tasteful blood orange, delicate, floral. Clean, low Brett. Soft, malty, rustic again the blood orange is just artfully, flawlessly done. Pepper, vanilla, honey, earth and citrus. Juicy, malty, but still refreshing. Lovely, elegant.

375mL bottle, drunk 7/29/23. Clear, peachy-brass-golden. No sound upon opening, no head, no carb it seems. Well that sucks, guess the seal on the bottle was bad. Wasn't oxidized yet but it's just too much Brett and peach acid and malt to not be carbonated whatsoever. Brett seems well done if a bit over developed, with gentle peach and a good maltiness. Sort of a placeholder rating. Will try again when I go up there.

750mL bottle drunk 7/23/23. Clear, dark. Beige head to ring. Smells like brett, light cherry, light roast, light vanilla. No big malts. No alcohol, no flaw. Soft, watery, thin, not very flavorful. Chocolate, roots, wood, cherry. Thin, watery, light roast. Light acetic. Light malic. Vanilla, wood. Water for days. Why is this so watery? I guess the base beer is just a light porter, so you cant expect it to be huge-bodied but it still seems too thin, regardless.

375mL bottle at the brewery, 7/14/23. Clear, bright golden-brass-maize. Large, white head. Beautiful, well-expressed, not overly acidic or sweet plum with the Brett seen from the pear version and maybe a bit more fruit. Skin, pulp, juice....clean, clear, juicy. Soft, malty, bretty, juicy with massively delicious fruit character. Clean, malty, wheaty, bretty. Big plum, low sweetness. Better than Hill's Harvest series...

375mL bottle at the brewery, 7/14/23. Clear, brass-bronze. White head to ring. Nose is just wow. A lovely, homogenized mix of mellow but aromatic pear and Brett. Good acidity with honey and biscuit malts gently supporting. Clean, bright, so nicely done on the pear with no excess sweetness. Soft, juicy, tart, brett-forward. Excellent malt character. Sweet but balanced with floral, honey and pear juice easing into Brett and lactic acidity. Clean. Just stunning on the fruit and Brett.

Canned 9/14/22, drunk 2/20/22. Clear dark, dark beige head, moderate retention. Clean, malty, quite dry in the nose with hints of toast, honey and lots of mineral and light ash. Soft, malty, well-attenuated, clean and lightly bready with hints of toast, light caramel and chocolate. Good base malt character with no excessive specialty malts. Mineral and low hop character with no flaw or alcohol noted.

Bottle shared in NH. Pours clear gold with a small, creamy white head. Lightly sweet, mellow funk, citrus nips, light lemon balm, a little salty. Light bodied with delicate carbonation. Clean and quenching finish, more mellow salty bite, citric twang. Quite tasty and drinkable.

On tap at black with small tan head that lasts. The aroma is roast, cocoa, licorice. Slick body, licorice, roast, cracker, dry finish, very good.
