Growler shared during RBWG 2013 - a massive thanks to GT for letting me try some of his fine wares. Pours clear, yellow-gold with a fine, white foam head. Lovely citrus nose, bits of lemon and mango. Medium sweet flavor with light bitterness, great juicy citrus character, grapefruit. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Crisp, clean finish, lightly drying, with some lemon peel bitterness. Great beer. Very graceful indeed.

Growler courtesy of GT2 at RBWG. Cheers, GT! Pours a clear yellow with a white head. Nose is big lemon followed by more citrus, some spicy rye, some some lemon zest, some herbal and floral bits, and light yeast. Flavor is some mild sweet malt, some spicy rye, some lemon zest, and some mild yeast. Light to medium in body and very interesting overall.

On draft at the source as well as 2L and 1L growlers consumed on the couch in the days following. The beer is golden orange with a white head. The aroma brings lemons, funk, citric hops, grass, floral notes. A fabulous hoppy saison. Complex, yet easy drinking. Earthy notes with orange peel and a funky, bitter finish. Medium bodied. A lovely beer from the folks at Tired Hands.

From growler, courtesy of Jon D. Funky-nasty hop aroma (nasty in a good way) that is just fantastic. The nose gives me the munchies. Mild sweetness and tons of pine, funk, and ozone. Pale golden clear with light haze, topped with thin foamy head. Medium body and carbonation. Nice dry saison with tons of fresh hop character. Big bitter finish and funky after. Delicious.

Pours a hazy golden yellow from the growler with thin white head and no real lacing. Aroma of belgian yeast, slight spiciness, but actually a whole lot of hops for a saison. Taste falls off a bit from the smell, but all the notes a re there, with a hin of lemony freshness. Pretty decent saison, thanks for the share.
