On tap at Tired Hands. Hazy brown with a rocky white head; lacy sheets. Nose is grain, grass, lime zest and slight funk. Creamy medium body with a lingering buzz. Taste is juicy citrus, earthy juniper and green weed. Long bitter finish. Awesome.

On tap during 1st Anniversary. Poured hazy gold with medium white head, good rings of lace. Nose was pepper, light nelson, oranges, wheat, and misc berries. Flavor was most of the same. Sessionable and light, ill have another.

Cloudy golden beer with a strong, fruity aroma. The flavour and aftertaste is hoppy with the fruit more understated. Very crisp and refreshing and the flavour is very nicely balanced between the initial fruity hit and the last hoppiness.

(Growler) cloudy yellow, soapy white bubbles. Nose is very tropical, pineapple, funky, sweaty, stone fruit. Taste is lightly bitter, earthy, citrus rind, refreshing, very creamy palate, great.

Pours a light hazy gold with a thick white head. Aroma of bitter Nelson hops, pepper, slight funky saison yeast. Taste is like an ipa but finishes like a saison. Really nice, I like this one a lot ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pours a hazy straw, hay color with a nice white head. Classic looking saison! Aroma is funky red berries, slightly tart, farmy. Taste is slightly tart, red berries, toasty mals, peppery, grapes, popcorn, wheat, nice fruity. A very well crafted saison!

Sampled from a fresh growler courtesy of GT2 during Hurricane Sandy: pours a slightly hazy bright golden with an airy clingy-lacing white head. Has a lightly sweet biscuity malty nose with fresh grassy piny hop notes with a touch of tangerines. Body starts with decent fullness and fine carbonation with a light sweetness and plenty of fresh hop flavor. Dries out before a crisp bittersweet finish. Pretty true to style and very drinkable.

Growler received in trade. Thank you callmemickey! Pours hazy pale golden with a big frothy white head that slowly dissipates while leaving lots of sticky trace on the glass. Smell is very tiny sweet, tiny salty, fruity and herbal with crackers, green grapes, freshly cut moist grass, nettles, lemon balm, gooseberries, sweat, elderberries, green wine gums, unripe strawberries and hints of band aids. Taste is herbal, fruity and floral with crackers, freshly cut moist grass, dry soil, gooseberries, frozen strawberries, dill, elderberries, green grapes, white pepper, lemon balm, nettles, lemon balm, lemony soap, cloves, allspice and unripe currants. Mouthfeel is crisp, dry, slightly herbal/spicy astringent and light to medium bodied. Finish is tiny bitter, herbal and tiny fruity with crackers, moist grass, gooseberries, green grapes, white pepper, dry soil, dill, lemon balm and hints of lime juice. Pure freshly squeezed Nelson juice on a cracker-like saison foundation. Love it!

(Bottle) Pours cloudy yellow with a creamy white head. The aroma holds Nelson hops and phenols up front with notes of nettles, black currant leaves, sweat, juniper, green grapes, grass, touch of wild strawberries, whisper of ripe fruits, band aid, clove and incense. Bready malt. Juicy nose. The flavor is near dry, medium bitter and light acidic with notes of mega “green” and juicy nelson alongside clear phenols and white bready malt. The mouthfeel is round, soft, smooth and tiny astringent with a light to medium carbonation. Mild, balanced and tasty finish. Near medium bodied.
