Growler from pepsican. Poured a slightly hazy medium orange color with a white head. The aroma was of sweet corn, subdued lemon, and mixed cereal grains. Medium bodied and semi-sweet. Lemon and sweet corn came out again in the flavor along with plenty of fresh cereal grain in the finish and a hint of butter. Eh.

Draught. Head is initially average sized, frothy, white, mostly lasting. Body is dark yellow. Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (grain/cereal), lightly hoppy (herbs), trace yeast (cobwebs), with hints of lemon zest and pepper. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter, husky. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Straightforward and a bit rough...grainy/husky malt character in the nose is also apparent in the finish. Some decent esters and phenols have been coaxed out of the fermentation, but they’re very light here. Plays it very safe and so the rough areas tend to stick out a bit. All in all a miss for me, but reasonably average on a world scale.

Tap @ trinity as Loose Lips saison. Supposed to have cranberry and a mild tartness, but I have trouble detecting it. Cloudy yellow. A little banana. Easy to drink.

Tap @ trinity as Loose Lips saison which I understand to be the same beers as lips of faith. A wonderful orange hughe with faint white head. Faint berry hints, mostly in the finish to an otherwise solid saison.

On tap at brewery. Pours a cloudy copper color with a little white head. Smells of fruit and a little sour. Tastes similar to smell. I would say if you mix skinny dip, la folie and and some cranberry juice you get this.
