On tap at Bale Breaker - Seattle, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma has a nice dank hop character, grassiness, and biscuity. Alt. Flavour is dry, with piney hops, some grassiness, and biscuity malt. Dry, hoppy and grassy. Very good.

On tap at Fair Isle, pours a clear rosé red with a small white head. Aroma has lots of berry-like grape skins, with rustic saison yeast, and wild bugginess. Flavour is exquisitely complex, with remarkably expressive red berry-like grape skins, wild yeast, and champagne-like effervescence. The high carbonation accentuates everything beautifully. Wonderful.

On tap at Fair Isle, pours a hazy bright dark red with a small white head. Aroma has a surprisingly cohesive blend of chamomile, lemon verbena, and a touch of blueberries, along with gentle rustic saison yeast. Flavour is more of the same, with lemon balm, soft blueberry skins, and chamomile. The farmhouse notes are felt in the back, finishing floral, lightly berry-forward and gently spicy. Good stuff.

On tap at Fair Isle, pours a clear pale yellow with a medium white head. Aroma smells like a corn on the cob, with straw, and crisp crackery malt. Flavour is clean and crisp, with corn, bready malt, and straw. Bright, clean, and highly drinkable. Well-made for what it is.

On tap at Stoup - Ballard, pours a clear pale copper blonde with a small white head. Aroma has tons of dank hops, a terpene-like character, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is likewise quite dank, with huge pot-like hops, some pine, and dry biscuity malt. Very pot-like, dry, and oily finish. Good stuff but shy of their best of work.
