Sampled at the C’est What spring fest. Another great Black Oak beer......although im not sure I could drink more than one pint. My only complaint is the pepper could have been toned down a touch.

Sampled @ C’est What Craft Brewers Fest Lots of fresh pepper greet the nose, tiny hint of lemon, light yellow, tiny white head. Juicy, wet hops give forth an appreciated bitterness, some malt, while the lemon and pepper are subtle. Light bodied, spicey, nice tongue tingle. Very nice, seems like a saison or a farm house ale. Innovative stuff Adrian!

Spicy scent of white pepper and citrus. A bit weiss-like in appearance and body, good-looking head on a very pale yellow beer. Thin mouthfeel, but very heady and citrussy (esp. lemongrass). Best of show, IMO.

Draft at C’est What. Golden yellow body with a small white head. (3+) Muted aroma, light notes of lemon and pepper. Hops are overshadowed. Similar flavour, with pepper that shows up in the back of the throat and aftertaste. Lemon blends with a light fruity/yeasty character. (6+) Average palate. Quite pleasant, this is a nice change of pace that mellows and blends better as the glass goes on.

Pint at C’est What. Nice golden appearance, pours with a full, substanial head. Nicely carbonated (i.e. not too fizzy). The problem for me was that this tasted like someone had dumped a couple tablespoons of lemon Shake n’ Bake into my pint. The lemon pepper flavour was very artificial and I think the MSG in the flavouring gave me a headache. I’d give this another try if it was flavoured with natural ingredients.
