Bottle (thanks Ibrew2or3). Caramel orange malt and earthy hay aroma. Golden yellow with small head. Lightly sweet caramel malt and mildly bitter straw flavor. Nice, easy drinking beer.

Live rate while watching the Warriors vs Memphis. The growler pours with a clear copper body that supports a nearly bright white head of foam that quickly falls back to a ring. The aroma at first busts with an earthy freshly cut green bell pepper notes. Upon further inspection this is likely rye bread, yummy dank onion and a bit of citrus creating a rather unique and oddly inviting aroma. The taste begins with thin faintly sweet malts and a moment later it grows into spicy bitter hops, onion dank hops, a citrus bitterness and then into grassy earthy spicy rye that creates the same uniqueness as noticed in the nose. Great stuff with plenty of flavor and interest and full up hoppiness from bitter to a bit resiny to some pleasing flavor hops. The more I drink the more this comes across with a nice tangy rye bread sensation. I wonder what a touch more residual sugar might be like.

Poured up on tap at Wilderness where it has a crystal clear copper body that supports an off white head. The aroma offers up sweet malts, some prune like notes and then spicy to floral hops. The taste is sweet with caramel malts, sweet prune to fig like fruitiness and then it evens out into a modest hoppiness that creates a bit of a spicy to slightly lime like sensation. It gets malty and bready into the finish.

Poured up on tap at Wilderness where it has a very nice looking deep crystal clear ruby red body that supports a tan head of foam. The aroma is sweet with prunes and smooth figs and then lighter vaguely hoppy notes cut into the sweetness near the end of the draw. The taste has rich flavors of prunes, figs and a bit of brown sugar. It does maintain a slight tartness and hop bitterness to attempt to balance off the heavier sweeter notes. Toward the finish some roasted malts take over along with a sliver of nuttiness and create a nice balance against the sweetness into the finish. I enjoyed the degree of roastiness presented here.

Poured up on tap at Wilderness where it has a nice looking semi opaque deep gold colored body that supports a white head. The aroma offers up sweet fruity red apples and a bit of peach mixed with muted apricot amid soft modest Saison like yeasty spices. The taste delivers fresh notes of Saison yeasty spices with apple to dry apricot fruit notes and then quickly getting into brighter and somewhat punchy notes such as a bit of citrus tartness to midway. It smooths out as the finish approaches where a bit of maltiness and malt graininess are noticed and they help tie this together. Pretty nice American Saison but a little too heavy and sweet compared to some Belgian Saisons I’ve enjoyed.

It pours with a nice dark body that supports a light mocha colored head. The modest aroma offers up notes of dark roasted malts, a slight chocolate note and then faint notes of burnt malts and a bit of a dark roasted coffee sense. The taste begins nice and roasty with burnt malts, dark roasted malts and then it moves into a quick pulse of chocolate before a thin river of malt sweetness joins the fun. Into the finish the roastiness ramps up and gets pretty dark to burnt malts and then those linger into the after taste. Nice big roastiness here.
