Bottle shared by alexsdad06. Poured a clear golden color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate fruit, hop and yeast aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium bittersweet yeast flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. My expectation where met.

Bottle… Pours yellow and clear with a mid-sized, fizzy, white head. Fantastic retention. The bouquet furnishes notes of pear, white pepper, coriander and red apple. Medium to full-bodied with dancing carbonation. The flavor presents fruity, tannic pear and a generous component of earthy bitterness. Tart, tangy, pear finish. Bottle courtesy of pantanap!

A: The pour on this one is a pale yellow color with a rather tall white head. S: A very nice fruit aroma to start this one off. Tons of pears and apples with a light dosing of spice. The hop notes are subtle and there is plenty of yeast and bread, the latter of which adds a bit of sweetness. T: As with the aroma, a strong flavor of pear, apple, and even some citrus and sweet apple juice. There is a very light pepper flavor as well as some bread and sweet, pale malts. There is a fair bit of yeast and a light hop bitterness. M: The body is medium and the carbonation is just above medium. O: I really enjoyed the fruit notes that this beer had. A bit sweet for how I like my saisons, but overall very well done.

Bomber. Poured clear, bright golden with a sticky white head. The aroma picked up juicy pineapple and pears, with accents of dry, white vinous notes, blended, redder fruits, and cloves.. interesting stuff. The flavor found tangy citrus and fragrant floral notes on the tip of the tongue, with bready malts behind.. pears, pineapple, and white spices really came through on the back-end.. long, dry, tasty finish. Medium-bodied with moderate carbonation on the palate.. very dry.. not the best flow, but it was very good overall.
