T: Very dark and roasted malty, Lots of acidity the taste of the fireplace coming in as well.

T: A touch sour and funky, the lightest pumpkin beer I have had. Sweet with a slight acid bite.

Serving type: bottle
A: Hazy straw color with orange hue. Small white head that fades quickly
S: Quite tart with some noticeable fruit character, Some good green apple and lemon notes, along with a mild barnyard funkeness. Not sure what a Lychee is or smell like so cant compare it to that.
T: Lots of great lactic tartness and fruit flavors. Definitely some green apples, and lemons. The oak is there, mainly in a tannic and mildly funky form. Decent amount of brett funk and dryness.
M: A puckering tartness along with a dry finish, medium body, and moderate carbonation.
D:Great beer, nice balance, and complexity with a touch of sourness. I would buy this again for sure.
Appearance: Really light deep yellow. Strong head that fades and leaces lace.
Smell: Not much of anything, not a funky saison
Taste: I don’t remember anything that stood out other than a light saison that was somewhat bland.
Mouthfeel: Light body not much carbonation for a saison.
Drinkability: Average beer in that it forgettable. Not good enough to be talked about but not horrible either. Will give it another shot when its not the last beer of the night. Had it at Friendly Spot
Serving type: bottle

Overall: Very nicely done for a saison, need to try all three versions side by side.
Serving type: bottle
Appearance: Pours a nearly clear, yellow body with a fizzy, white head.

Serving type: bottle
A: Pours a light amber brown with some haze.
S: Plenty of sour cherries on the front with a bit of vinegar, some lactic notes, and a hint of malt sweetness as well.
T: A ton acidity and some vinegar. Good cherry notes along with a bit of sweetness that goes well with the sourness. Not too much oak, but a decent dryness with some tannins
M: The body is medium with a very lively carbonation and a dry finish.
D: A nice example of the style, not the best from them but not bad either. Was looking for something more sour but maybe it would age into that. Would buy again
