__Aroma:__ “Very enticing. Peach, mango, orange, lemon, coconut, pine, and hints of candy. Light malt aroma stays out of the way.” __Flavor:__ “Big tropical fruit character dominates: pineapple, peach, mango, orange, coconut. Body is rich and chewy. Malt is clean. But a mineral character overwhelms everything once you get to mid-palate. It also brings out the bitterness and leads to a dry, astringent finish.” __Overall:__ “Love the up-front hops character; it’s very distinctive and complex. Seems a bit harsh from dry hopping on the finish, which adds an overly aggressive character. Otherwise, it’s very drinkable, and I would have several of these (except I would get full).”

Aroma: “Classic saison aromas: orange, banana, light peppery phenols with grassy hops, bubblegum, and just a bit of bready malt in the background. Subtle but distinctive.” Flavor: “Pepper, orange, banana, clove, bubblegum, grainy malt, balanced, smooth finish that’s a bit on the sweeter side for the style, but certainly not sweet. Aftertaste of spice lingers pleasantly.” Overall: “Everything is super well-balanced; it’s just pint (or rather taster)-sized. A superbly executed classic saison.”

“Light, delicate, refreshing throughout. Hop flavor has notes of white grape, pear, fresh-cut grass. Dank and citrus aromatics jump out of the glass with nothing but hops—the clean profile allows those hops to simply shine. Very light body in the underlying beer, with high carbonation that yields a crisp, clean finish. Flavor is in unison with the nose—dank, old-school hop flavor, with restrained bitterness—all painting on a perfectly executed lager canvas. Pleasantly bitter, but balanced. An all-day beer with pleasant hop complexity added for interest, it screams repeat pints.”
