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.

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.

32oz growler pours a slightly hazy gold with some creamy white head. Nose is nice and earthy, floral, chrysanthemum, a little spice, some mild alcohol, lemon, some grains of paradise. Flavor is nice, a little lemon-lime soda, some soap, some spice, floral, a little booze, some yeast, cheese rind, lightly vegetal. Really clean, easy drinking. At 8.5% this could really sneak up on you.

32oz growler pours a hazy orange with a ring of white head. Nose is mild but inviting, orange, pine, grass, malt, a little honey, slightly herbal. Flavor is very well balanced, malt, a little biscuit, orange, pine, mild soap, a flick of spice. Clean, dry, slightly zesty finish. Very nice. A good entry beer for them.

Pours red-tinged brown into a snifter. White head with little retention recedes to hug rim. Tropical fruit and resin aromas. Slick with earthy yeast, caramel and sweet tropical fruit front to back. Dry resin and grapefruit in the lasting finish.
