Pours a hazy amber with a nice white head. Smells of dry malt, floral, funky, spicy. Tastes dry and spicy with some perfumy hints and a funky finish. Courtesy of cheersmate1.

Hazy golden blonde pour with a light haze and an intense funkiness. Nice spicy/lemony yeastiness over a soft pilsner malt base and a nice dry spiciness. Nice lean body and a fairly bright spiciness. Citrus and a nice flinty mineral flavour. I like this.

Bottle from Kingdom Liquors. Poured hazy orange with an average frothy white head that mostly diminished with fair lacing. Moderate citrus, fruit and yeast aroma. Medium body with sticky texture and soft carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. This beer goes well with my after dinner cigar.

Bottle thanks Radek for sharing. Darkish yellow body with noticeable rising carbonation bubbles. The aroma is hoppy and it is apple juice. Light mouthfeel, light for the style. Getting pepper and corriander. Criticism is expectation for more yeast contribution. Very summer beerable, drinkable.

Bottle 650 ml

Flavor/Palate : Mild ,s oft light wheat base. Sweet caramel on top. Lightly spiced with citric soft end. Where is the funk ? Nutty late finish.

Bottle. Pours a hazy golden body with a white head. Spicy yeast character and bread y apple tones, some floral fruits, tea and bark. A dough y body with some lemon grass and spicy yeast tones. A decent ale an average saison.

Bomber. Pours a slightly hazy deep golden with a moderate white head. Aroma is phenolic, yeasty, dough, cracker, a bit harsh, green, grassy, slight apple and tang. Flavor has some lemon hints, yeast, dough, plastic phenols, saltspray, crackery malt is just slightly too much- herbal, grass, leather and a soft and slight acidic finish- ok but not great.
