4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a hazy and effervescent copper amber, topped by an inch or so of creamy off-white foam. Sweetish fruity aroma.
Tart and tangy flavor, with a shot of not-quite-sweet fruitiness, perhaps a green apple flavor? Malt flavor on the dry side. Herbal yeast, herbal hops, and a touch of rhubarb and citrus. Very much like a saison, though one without any barnyard funk. Body just under medium, almost fizzy carbonation.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Cloudy amber, bubbly, creamy lacing golden head. Sour, lactic, horseblanket and fruity/sugary aroma. Well-attenuated lean sparkly body. Dry fruity flavor, much less sourness than in the nose, just a bit dry towards the finish. Refreshing.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours dark amber with a soft white head, very hazy and cloudy. Nose is all wheat and yeastiness, light citrus hops show. Flavor is dry and crisp, wheat up front with a yeast estery finish. Slight tartness develops in the finish with a bit of fruit and citrus left behind.
3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle shared with Hogtown Harry, Blankboy, and Greg Clow, Harry’s bottle. Pleasant tart aroma, very very interesting. Light hazy orange, small white head. Disappointing taste: Fruity, but thin and watery and uninteresting. Decent, didn’t mind drinking it, but just didn’t get the wow factor that went around the table with this one.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, GregClow & tupalev -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a hazy amber-orange with lots of little floaties and a large lasting foamy off-white head. Aroma is slightly funky with some sour fruit, yeast and spices -- very nice! Flavour follows the aroma with the fig juice coming out a bit more. Medium bodied, good amount of carbonation. Wow, this was way better then I expected, very enjoyable.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Best before 06/05. Pours deep gold into a tulip. Significant medium-sized off-white head. Lemon and soap aromas. Well carbonated and dry malt with lemons front to back. Lasting spritzy sour lemon finish.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, tupalev & blankboy - HogTownHarry’s bottle. Hazy amber-gold, wispy head. Tart saison/gueuze-like aroma with some faint fruity notes. Sharp, crisp mouthfeel. Flavour isn’t quite as sour as the aroma, but still has a nice bite, with the fig juice and some spice notes coming through in the finish. Very intreresting.
