Pours hazy gold with white head. Healthy lacing. Nose is metal, lime, tart. Taste is tart, lime, lemon, Sprite, grass, crisp, refreshing, delicious.
Draft from TH. Sour saison with some tropical notes. Pineapple, toasted coconut, cider, lemon peel. Another fine one! It seems like TH is hitting their stride.
Pours a pale golden, straw coloration with a medium, frothy, quickly receeding head. Smell is mildly tart and quite hoppy, with little estery aromas coming through, and notes of citrus, pineapple and a hint of cat piss and grassy dankness. Taste is dominated by a zesty, citric acidity and notes of grapefruit, lime peel and white grape, with lighter notes of pineapple, hay, peppery spice, oak and a hint of grassy dankness. Finishes with a light tartness and some citric acidity lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation. This is a tough one. While it almost completely lacks any of the traditional estery yeast notes or funkiness commonly associated with Belgian Saisons, it does have some rather nice hoppy notes and an almost mouth-puckering citric acidity to it. A very modern take on the traditional Belgian Saison that is somewhat lacking in complexity, but makes up for that with a spritzy sourness and hoppy drinkability. Almost seems like a cross between a NEIPA and a Belgian Saison, although everyone has to decide for themselves how much of a desireable mix this really is.
Very cloudy light orange, off white lacing. Lovely wine forward Nelson aroma with bitter grapefruit peel and wood. Whoa, damn. That’s good. Nelson, Ciara, simcoe? Chewy dank with pine needle, bark, table sugar, great full body, lovely fresh OJ finish. Solid.
On tap at Tired Hands Fermentaria, pours a cloudy bright yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out a wonderful saison yeast along with bright, effervescent tropical fruity and floral hops. Flavour is wonderfully complex, bursting with tropical fruity dry hopping, perfectly harnessed rustic saison yeast, and a nice citrus brightness. Balanced and complex. Lovely.
Bottle 500ml.

Botlle @ Ulfborg Tasting 20180414. Pours muddy golden with a white head. Aroma of brett, foral hops - slight perfumne alike, slight wood - saw dust, citrus. Taste is tropical fruits, bretty, quite foral, tropical hops - tho foral, pineapple, light tart with a vinegary touch.
500 ml bottle. Pours a mostly clear, amber color and topped by a small, thin head of off white foam that shows good retention before settling into the body below. The aroma shows notes of bright citrus fruit, grapefruit, tart white grape, earthy, funky yeast, light tartness, and some grainy malts. The flavor follows suit and shows more of the citrus fruit with grapefruit and white grape skins most noticeable, light tartness, a dose of earthy funk, and light oak notes to go with mild citrus hop bitterness on the back end. Medium bodied and fairly smooth with soft carbonation that leads to a clean, dry, slightly tart, and bitter finish. Really solid saison here.
Bottle pour. Pours a beautiful golden amber. Very light bodied, heavy sour flavor. Grass and alcohol on the nose. Nice.
Bottle from shop. Clearer golden color traces of white lace. Hops, wheat, lemongrass, spice and funk. Sour middle to go with the fruit and a little bitter on the end. Straw and hop balance. Quite good. A bit of a stinging sensation from the sour/hop clash. Nice.
Bottle. Pours clear golden, medium white head, dissipates fairly quickly with decent residual and lacing. Aroma is tropical fruit, basement funk with a hint of bathroom, bright citrus, guava and tangerine. Flavor is light tart, light plus funk, bugs starting to assert themselves but a lot of tropical dry hop remains. Light plus body, lingering funky finish with a bit of tart tropical lemonade.
500ml bottle. This is nice and mealy griany, torpical brett funkiness hint of medicinal.
