Draft at Haymarket, pours hazy gold straw yellow with white head. Nose is faint, minerals, vitamins, and white pepper. Flavors have a white pepper pronounced note with sweet raw grain, grass, and vitamins. Bit sweet finish. Chaulky body. Not a big fan.

Tap sample. Poured a hazy golden color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate fruity, spice and yeast aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium sweet yeast spice flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. My expectation where met with complex sweet beer.

On tap at Haymarket. Pours hazy golden straw color. Aromas of banana, clove, peppery spices and yeast. Flavors of spices, yeast, banana, and clove. I liked this a little more than the others apparently .
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20 NobleSquirrel (2677) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - SEP 6, 2011
Draft at Haymarket. Pours looking like a saison, pale gold, hazy and a fluffy white head. Nose seems a bit offputting. Tons of phenolics, chloraseptic, white pepper and clove, then a weird banana note. On tasting, it is modestly tart, more of the banana coming through then more of the phenolic bandaid crap. I think they drove the temperature up haphazardly on this and the yeast just didn’t like it. Not a fan.

draft... pours a light straw... the nose is very herbal with lots of spicy notes a bit of flowers... not a fan of the taste, way to strong, tons of eucalyptus with a harsh finish, not worth trying
