32oz growler pours a clear gold with some fluffy, sudsy, white head. Nose is musty, muscat grape, some grapefruit, a little cheese rind, some bread crust, some funk, a little band aid, lemon. Flavor is right on the border of saison and sour, some bread, some cheese, yeast, some kumquat, some candy, some medicine cabinet, honey, straw, grass. Medium bodied, slightly funky finish. Could have gone longer in the barrel.

32oz growler pours a clear, bright gold with some lacing, thin white head. Nose is nice and inviting, some bright lime zest, grapefruit, chives, light pine tar, a little tropical fruit, some mild honey, a little malt. Flavor is very nice too, piney, grapefruit, chive, some scallion, orange, light kumquat, a little white bread. Medium bodied, lightly sweet, lightly astringent, lightly bitter finish. The ceiling for both bitterness and sweetness for an IPA. You could argue this is the most drinkable DIPA out there. Very nice.
