Sampled at GABF. Pours a hazy orange with one ring of white head. Fusel nose, estery, peppery, a little mango. Flavor is very estery as well, clove, banana, fropical fruit. Medium bodied. Like a hef gone bad. Too estery.

draft.
green / raw hop nose, but not especially American-like.
pale and crystal malt flavor.
husky and pasty, as is the norm with their beer, though cleaner than most
dried lemon / orange peel, light citrus oil.
medium-heavy bitterness.

Incredible saison, light Belgium yeast notes and sweet malt body with some sour citrus to balance.

Hmmm...can’t remember now where I had this, but it was in PDX. Golden orange hue, thin head. Fruity esters on the nose, with a singe of hops in there. Big yeasty body, mild grass, and a pleasant hop hit towards the finish. Dug it!

Tap @ The Commons... Poured bright, golden/orange with a thin head. Lots of great fruity esters here and yeast spices. A hint of tartness, floral earthy hops. Great Belgian yeast flavor. Candied malts, sweet, fruity bouquet. Really nice.
