473 ml can. Pours a hazy amber with huge head. Aromas of corn and lemon zest. Flavors of lemon and orange, coriander, and sharp wheat malt. More a white IPA than a typical saison, but a nice summer beer.

Okay hazy yelllow body and some modest foam. Smells of nice lemon zest, sparkling tangy pine. Taste is chalky papaya, soft lemon, ends crisp but a little thin. Not bad, a crowd pleaser.

Hazy, dullish pale colour and a bit of head. Bright hop notes and the standard Russell kettle sour base, along with a bit of yeastiness that muddles the aroma a little bit. Those hops are really, bright though, mango, guava and passionfruit. On the palate, much the same. the kettle character is heavy, but the hops are big enough to mostly drown it out. And these are damn fine hops. It knocks me out that Southern Passion has some old school lineage because it tastes nothing like noble hops. Excellent hop and I'm enjoying this one.

473ml can. Pours a clear dark brown, almost black with red hue and a medium, creamy, long lasting, tan head that laces nicely. Sweet aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate and faint cherry. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee, cherry and a hint of smoke in a dry, mild bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Ok, but cherry is too subtle.

Sweet flavour of grainy pale malt, rice and spicy hops in a crisp, dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Clean, refreshing and crushable.
