Growler from the brewery. Pours perfectly clear gold with s foamy white head that settles into a cream. Pleasant aroma with notes of lightly dried citrus, mellow saison yeast, pithy lemon. Light to medium sweet flavor with moderate grassy bitterness, some melon, grapefruit, more pith. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Light hoppy resins on the finish, some I ether grass, subtle yeast expression, some dried citrus, dry wheat and pale bread. Solid overall.

Bottle from Redstone Tawny amber color with a decent sized bubbly off white head with moderate retention. Fruity candy sugar aromas with hints of yeast spice and a very faint woodiness. Not a whole lot of rum or barrel notes on the aroma, but it smells wonderful. The flavor follows the aroma quite well. Caramel and maybe a hint of molasses sweetness with a solid bit of fruity flavor to counter. Mild spicy earthy yeast notes, and just a touch of wood tannin that ends up more as a drying sensation than any flavor contribution. Medium body, moderate carbonation, sweet crisp mouthfeel. Loved this beer, but felt the rum and barrel notes were subtle to non existent.

Bottle from Redstone. Hazy deep straw color with a decent sized long lasting bubbly white head. Big aromas of grapefruit and apricot mixed with a big of pine and resin with just a touch of faint crackery malt. The flavor is mostly citrus with hints of sweet bread. The flavor is not what I expected from the nose. Medium to light body with a moderate level of carbonation. This smells fantastic and its a solid drinkable beer.

Bottle from Redstone Fairly clear light golden color with a bubbly white head. Big pine resin dankness with hints of citrus. A bit more caramel maltiness that I expect for a double ipa. Nice beer, I’d drink it again.
