FoBAB. Cloudy golden color with small white head. Aroma is spicey, peppery and yeasty, dry. Flavor is much the same but is at the same time off-putting with a sweeter fruity flavor and some hop background. Medium to light body with a nice fizzy carbonation. This is nice but at the same time I don’t know what to think about it.

On tap @ the Liars’ Club - Pours a hazy golden color with a small white head. Light lacing. Aroma is light esters and spice. Flavor is more of the same. This beer really comes around as it warms up. Quite spicey (cloves and pepper). Light to medium body. Pretty smooth. A pretty good beer.

Tap at the Toronado SF. Not a bad little beer. Bartender was right, this is a saison. Very good little session beer, could drink this all day. Not bad.

Draught at the brewery tasting room. Hazy gold with a creamy white head. Wheat malt and herbal spice aroma. Duusty, doughy yeast, wheat tanginess. Pretty dry and refreshing, a bit fruity with lightly biter herbal hops in the finish. Light bodied, but still plenty of body considering the abv. Snappy carbonation. The wheat character is hight, with just a bit of farmhouse yeast influence, but overall a good summer quaffer. I could definitely session this one. (3.4) rerate: At the brewery again. This year it seems to be smoother and fruitier with more spice as well. A very nice, very drinkable saison.

On tap @ City Beer poured a cloudy gold with a small lasting white head. Aromas of wheat, pear and light yeast. Palate was light bodied and smooth. Flavors of wheat, pear, light yeast and a hint of citrus with a smooth dry lightly bitter finish.

Draft at San Diego Brewing Company. Aromas of yeast and some citrus. Touches of spice come out more in the flavor. Actually kinda boring for a style I usually like.

Sample at PP Carlsbad; color was a clear, toasted yewllow; compact white head. Aroma was of musty wheat and earth, with some fruit notes. Very soft on the palate. Flavor of spicy wheat and bread, with some spice/herbal, almost lavender like. It was a bit too straightforward and not great tasting for me.
