si presenta benissimo,all’olfatto è molto forte l’odore di frutta e allo stesso tempo di agrumi,forse un po troppo carbonizzata,ma molto delicata.forse non è il loro prodotto piu buono,ma vale la pena assaggiarla!

Bomber poured into a tulip at GiltBar in Chicago. Pours a hazy golden color with fluffly white head. Aromas of fruit. Well carbonated and dry. Has sweet fruit notes and the belgian yeast is definitely present. Medium to light in body.

Bottle courtesy of ericandersnavy. Pours a hazy gold with a fluffy whitish head and a thousands of tiny bubbles rapidly ascending to the surface. The head recedes to reveal an aroma of phenolic Belgian yeast notes: apple and light pear, paired with candy sugar over a "light" malt backing. Medium-bodied and walking the line between sweet and dry, the palate reveals some alcohol warmth and bittering hops at the swallow. The flavor follows the nose with a sweet-to-dry transition that is quite satisfying. They’ve done a really nice job with this beer, and i can see it pairing well with a lot of foods.. Thanks for sending it my way, Eric.

Bottle. Pour is hazy golden yellow with a huge white soapy head that lingers and then faded to a film. Aroma is strong yeast and fruit with lemon being dominent. Taste is tons of carbonation along with fruit and yeast and some funky spice. Palate is thin and fizzy bubbles that don’t settle. Ok brew, I won’t search it out again.

750ml bottle poured into a Delirium snifter. Hazy, deep golden color. Huge fluffy white head with good retention, but interestingly enough no lacing whatsoever. A steady stream of carbonation bubbles rising from the bottom of the glass. Aroma is mainly Belgian yeast, orange, and clove. Palate is full bodied with prickly, almost harsh carbonation. Definatley has some saison qualities - rustic, slight skunkiness, some sourness on the finish. Flavors are yeast, coriander, and citrus. Tastes like a yeasty saison.

I would advise skipping this beer and going for the much better "Local 2."

Pours a nice amber color, with a tall frothy head. Has a similar scent to Poppaskull as well as taste.

Pours dark amber with a frothy foaming white head. Aroma is citrous hops, yeast, orange peel. Taste is brown sugar, orange peel, sour lemons and yeast. Very sweet and then sour on the finish. Interesting beer but so sweet I couldn’t drink much of it.
