A: Orange/copper color, about one finger of white foam that falls pretty quickly
S: Spice, yeast, Brett. Smells kinda like La Folie with out all the tart
T: Tastes like a less tart and less flavorful La Folie, Could the ingredients be similar? Not a bad beer but much to be desired
M: Medium body, not too much carbonation.
D: Not really “wild” but not to bad, just wish it had more funk to it.

Appearance: Dark orange / copper color with a short 1/4″ head that dissipates quickly.
Smell: Fruity and some alcohol create a great nose.
Taste: caramel, some light oak tones, very mild bitterness, and a slight alcohol burn
Mouthfeel: medium-heavy in body. smooth and a bit dry at the finish. Medium to light carb, appropriate to the style

In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts. So in old England, when customers got unruly, the bartender would yell at them to mind their own pints and quarts and settle down. It’s where we get the phrase mind your P’s and Q’s.
A: Thick dense three finger white head leading to a clean, but slightly cloudy, golden straw nectar.
S: Lemon grass, funky, nice saison smell.
T: Pretty much like it smells…except a lot more yeast character, lemon and grass. Herbs…earthy…slight tang and some mild hop flavor coming through.
M: light to medium finish, quite refreshing, lots of carbonation but has been settling out since my initial pour.
A nice Saison pretty close to Saison Dupont from what I recall. Very refreshing and paired well with the pizza we were having.
A= Pours a hazy golden-hay color. About a half inch to an inch of a white head forms, and slowly fades
S=Great nose on this one, refreshing summer notes. Very clean and crisp. You definitely get the mandarin orange. Coriander, and a bit of clove seem to be the most dominant.
T= Clove and Coriander again are prominent. Mandarin gives way to balance it out, some sweet hay/grassy flavor comes through as well. I get a hint of banana on the back of the tounge as the beer warms.
M=Great summer beer, This would be a nice intro for people who have not been craft beer drinkers in the past.
O= A really, really good and refreshing witbeer. Stockup on this on before its gone. It will be great in the heat of the summer.
A- Body is a cloudy dark amber color. Much darker than most saisons. Pours with a 2 finger, creamy, slightly off-white head. Head fades slowly to 1 finger but has perfect retention from there and plenty of lacing is left behind in the glass. Cloudiness has medium thickness and is dynamic as yeast sediment and the cloudiness can be seen moving about in the glass.
S- Smell is on the sweeter side with peach, maybe some mango, and apple and pear coming through first with a slight floral accent. Some yeasty funk can be found in the background.
T- Upfront is a mix of sweet and tart fruitiness. I can definitely detect apples and pears, and maybe some peach and mango also (as there is definitely an exotic presence here). This is softly accented by a floral hop presence and a slightly funky, yet bready yeast looms in the background along with a healthy dose of sweet caramel malt. The finish is more tart and bitter than the initial flavor and the floral hops and yeast really make their presence known here.
M- Low to medium carbonation and nice, smooth, yeasty body.
D- This is an awesome beer and is definitely not typical of the style. I’ve never seen one this dark before and the exotic fruit presence is a great spin on this style. It is a bit sweeter than most but still very good.
Serving type: Bottle
A: Pours a tawny brown color that is not entirely transparent; nice white head.
S: Lots of tartness of cherries and other fruits on top of a brown base. A little bit of funkiness going on as well.
T: The taste is quite sour, but not overpoweringly so. The biggest fruit component is of cherries, and there are oak hints complementing the sourness.
M: Prickly and sour; quite good.
D: Unbelievably drinkable for the style with the perfect amount of sourness
Serving type: bottle
A: Clear copperish brown, sudsy topping
S: Birch sap, lemon oil, gourds, caramel very. Very hippy smelling
T: Brown bread, birch, vague spice, lemon zest, earthy pumpkin, steely caramel, mild hopping, slightly roasty finish
O: Not the best idea for the collab in my opinion, the birch takes the lead though and leaves most of the yam behind. The pumpkin make its mark more towards the finish. Interesting use of spice. Nice but I would pass on it in the future.
