Pours hazy pale gold into a snifter. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Sweet yeast and earthy marshmallow aromas. Dry with sweet caramel and sour fruits upfront turning to a lasting yeast and sourdough finish.

Pours light gold into a snifter. Bright white head with little retention recedes to mottle surface. Sourdough and hay aromas. Soft with sourdough and marshmallow upfront turning to bready sour overripe fruit in the medium length finish.

Growler from the brewery. Pours clear gold with a large, frothy white head. Lovely pissy hops in the nose, loads of citrus, lemon, papaya. Light to medium sweet flavor with further tangy urine, tangeine, lemon, faint pine needles, perfectly balanced pale malt sugars. Light to medium bodied with fine, smooth carbonation. Extremely well balanced to finish, bursting with citrusy and juicy hops, slight pale bread. Absolutely stunning. I could drink this by the bucket. Without a doubt world-class.

Growler from the brewery. Pours faintly hazy yellow with a moderate, pure white froth. Refreshing aroma, lots of dry hay, dry lemon rind, mellow yeast and pale malt. Good flavor, plenty more dried lemon rind, straw, dried pale malts, faint crunchy grains. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Clean and tasty to finish, some more dynamic citrus character, dry lemon, light melon and tangerine, more dry straw, crunchy pale malts. Solid, classically-styled saison.

64oz growler pours a very hazy, pineapple yellow with lots of lacing white head. Nose of tropical fruit, some pine, mild grass, lemon peel, soap. Flavor is well balanced, pine, orange, grapefruit juice, some tropical fruit, soap, mild sweetness. Clean finish. Solid. Hides the 7.2% in a dangerous fashion. Dare I say, this is another good example of a "North East IPA".

On tap at the brewery. Pours a hazy gold with some creamy white head. Nose is soft, grassy, some mild yeasty esters, light clove, some mild pepper, a little honey. Flavor has lots of honey sweetness, light hay, some flower petal, light clove and bubblegum, a little orange. Clean, silky finish. Soft and drink able. Sort of a hybrid.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a hazy gold with some sticky white head. Nose has a ton of buckwheat, bready, grainy, almost a little cooked quinoa. Flavor is the same, very odd, loads of buckwheat flour, almost a raw flour flavor, gristy, a little honey. Gristy, flour finish. Very strange.

Light to medium sweet flavor, further ash, very slight tangy dark fruits, dusty cocoa. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Moderate sweetness to finish, some chalky cocoa, minerals, ash, light earth, burnt toast, dried dark berries. Very nice.

Growler from the brewery - Boston. Pours clear, yellow-gold with a foamy, white head. Lots of hops in the nose, some grapefruit and piss, a bit of Belgian yeast, dry dough. Medium to big sweet flavor, loads of pissy hops, melon, grapefruit, mellow yeast, dry white bread. Medium to full bodied with fine, caressing carbonation. Pretty crisp and clean on the finish - impressively so for the ABV - with more dank citrus, urine, lots of pineapple, melon, a bit of yeast. Delicious and highly drinkable for its strength.

Sampled at the brewery. Pours a hazy amber with some frothy, creamy white head. Nose is nice, soapy, orange, perfume, yeast, some spice. Flavor is spicy, mild booze, some grain, orange, some bread crust, some cheese rind. Slightly hot finish. A little messy.
