Growler shared by somebody at O’Briens. Poured a golden color with a small white head. Big on the bubble gum both in aroma and flavor. Some light banana. Biscuity malt. Light to medium body with good carbonation.

Fairly spicy aroma for a saison. Flavor also is a bit on the agressive side, with some nice spices and hops. The quick bite disappears quickly. An excellent beer.

Tap, downtown. Dark amber in color. Slightly sweet aroma with a bit of yeastiness. Flavor is pretty yeasty and sweet. Quite a bit of fruitiness.

10th rating of this brew. Tap @ Porter’s Pub UCSD. I have to say I am not a fan. Pours orange with an off white ring. Nose had a weird up front spice and strange overall aroma. Taste is aggressively spiced on the front end with Citrus on the back end. Also there is a boozy taste which doesn’t make sense to me. I like dry saisons and this was a mess, the citrus was too big and it was far too agressive.
