12oz can, big butterscotch and blond coffee nose, malt, a little green pepper. Flavor has a clear malt backbone, chewy grains, butterscotch, the coffee is still here but a little less potent. Finishes just off dry, malty. Pretty well put together.

Taste comprises lemon zest, grass, hedgerow, herb, light spice, yeast load. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, light drying close. Passable saison if a little stuck in 3rd gear.

12 oz can from DC. Thanks Ashley! Pours a crystal clear light yellow color with a white head and good retention. Almost no lacing. Virtually no aroma. Bright flavor of pilsner malt with a dry finish. Very crisp mouthfeel. Medium-light body. A little thin. Clean, smooth and refreshing on a hot day. Very pilsner-like.

Cask at the Great British Beer Festival 2019 - London. Pours lightly hazy gold with a small, foamy white head. Light to medium sweet flavour with notes of wheat, ripening lemon, moderate yeast expression. Light in body with fine carbonation; decent condition. Finishes with notes of flaked wheat and lemon peel. Fine overall.

Draft at the brewery. Poured a mostly clear, dark ruby color with a small off-white head. Aroma was dark fruits. Lots of toasted malts, sweet malt and vanilla wood. Boozy, alcohol burn, but with a slight smooth barrel character, toffee. Vanilla woody finish.

Growler pour from Meridian Pint. Poured a nearly pitch black color with a small tan head. Aroma was a blast of coffee. Roasted malts. Flavor was roasted coffee beans, dark chocolate. Rich aroma, smooth and easy to drink. Nice stuff!
