Tsp at the brewery. Pretty great and refreshing straightforward IPA. Pours copper orange with beige head. Loads of citrus on the nose. Tastes of juicy citrus, bitter pine, melons, and earth. Dry and bitter finish.

Tap at the brewery so excited I got chance to stop and this brew seemed great way to start. Pours cloudy yellow with white head. Nose of funky grapefruit. Tastes of sour grapefruit, some wheat, white pepper. Found the grapefruit slightly overpowering made it almost a spritzer with this delicate brew. But super refreshing on a hot day.

Growler pours with a clear copper to gold body that supports a tan head of foam. The aroma erupts with old old school hoppiness that sends up plumes of lime, earthy shrubs, herbally notes, earthy dankness and floral that just pulse there all on their own. Well off in the background are thin murmurs of estery apples covered in honey. At the edges are smooth Belgian Saison like spices. I love this mix of aromatics. Hello! The taste begins nice and smooth with some sweet maltiness and gently yeasty spices. It then rushes headlong into firm hoppy notes malt sweetened earthy lime, herbal notes, tangelo citrusy hops, earthy hop dankness and then a pleasing mix of sweet honey and earthy tea to bitter floral hoppiness. This is working just right with freshness, boldness, snappiness and flavor harmony. Wow. I love this. I hope there’s some of this tapped this summer as it feels like a terrific hot weather brew. Holy Hell!
Baby Jesus!

Growler pours with a nice dark body that supports a thin tan to light mocha colored head. The aroma offers up dark roasted malts, to burnt malts and right to ashy malty char. Mixed right in there with the burnt malts must be the Juniper as I get a faint not burnt malt in the background. The taste is no different and I have a hard time shaking a cigarette ash tray sort of sensation. It has a modest body and unleashes dark roasted to burnt to straight up ashy char notes. Well underneath are murmurs of chocolate and a vague slightly resiny hop bitterness. This is the most burnt malts I’ve had in a long while. Nothin’ wrong with that.

Growler pours with a copper to gold body that supports a light tan head. The aroma offers up sweetness, mango and citrus flavored gummy bears. The taste starts with a mild malt sweetened wild yeast twang. It then gets into sweet mango and citrus hoppiness that’s almost all flavor hops and little bitterness. A dash of hop bitterness does present itself midway and into the finish to provided added balance and depth. Nice easy drinking IPA. 7 4 8 4 15

Sept 2015 batch with a few weeks on it. While just a few days into the initial tapping this was a nice IPA with a subtle thin Brett sensation well off into the background. With several weeks of age the Brett has come forward but has melded and blended softly with the various citrus and tropical fruit like hop flavors. This just attains a whole new level where the soft yet firm Brett notes enhance and round out the hoppiness rather than being abrasive and taking away. 2 to 3 weeks this beer is peaking. Wow! The only knock I have is the Brett does not enhance the aroma but rather is a too forward. That being said the flavor is money! Into the finish it picks up a mild bready graininess that adds just another dimension and helps to ground the experience. 7 4 9 5 18

Growler pours with a hazy opaque deep gold body that supports a white head. The aroma offers up a nice rich mix of citrus fruitiness, spicy yeastiness and then some mild floral hoppiness in the background. The taste is similar where the citrus notes marry up to the spicy Saison like yeast notes and Noble hops into a harmonious dance of flavors. This is a tasty combination richness, freshness, balance and snappy refreshing goodness. I love how this stays light and refreshing from front to back. Wonderful Saison.

Growler pours with a slightly hazy deep gold body that supports a tiny short lived white head. The aroma offers up sweet grainy sour notes flowing into mild banana and then orange and a dash of lemon. The taste starts with a mix of sweetness and graininess. It then quickly gets into a blend of sweet banana, a tad of orange gummy bear candy, a sliver of bubble gum and a pleasing grainy sour mash goodness that fits in here perfect. This is going to be a dynamite Phoenix area summer beer.

Poured up on tap into a squat tulip glass at the Wilderness. It pours with a dark amber body that supports a tan head. The aroma offers up chocolate, molasses covered cherries, black licorice and some earth dark roasted malts. The taste has a mix of dark roasted malts, chocolate, a light earthy tobacco note and then dark sweet cherry like fruity notes wrapped in dried molasses. A bit on the fruity side but pretty nice.

Poured up on tap into a squat tulip glass at the Wilderness. It pours with a dark clear amber body that supports a thin white head. The aroma offers up cherry meat, a bit of grainy malts (which I’m diggin’), some wheat notes, plum juice and dark red sweet plum flavored gummy bears. The taste begins sweet with cherry, sweet raisins and brown sugar sweetness that rolls into sweet malts, a dash of molasses and sweet date earthiness. This has a nice balance as the fruity esters mix with the punchy semi bright fruity and mild boozy notes. Right now this is young but has a pleasing balance and darn smooth with very little booziness to speak of.
