On draft at the tasting room in Kihei. Big passionfruit tartness, almost like a tart berliner weisse. Lighter in body, nice carbonation, refreshingly tart fruit finish and eminently crushable.

12oz can poured into a goblet
A-pours a slightly haz pale golden color with a one-finger foamy white head that reduces to a film floating on top
S- passionfruit, earthy yeast, fruity hops
T- tart passionfruit is immediately noticed up front, followed by some earthy yeast that provides undertones of dried hay and banana. Mid-palate gives notes of pineapple and lemon, the finish is slightly toasted and lingers of more tart passionfruit
M- medium body with moderate carbonation leads to a foamy mouthfeel and a dry, tart finish
O- tart and fruity, almost drinks like a gose, minus the wheat finish

Saw a guy carrying a case out of Safeway in Kapa'a and thought that was a good sign. Hazy orange, good head. Smells like sour candy and amarillo hops. More tart than I expected, lime, fruity saison and yeast flavors. Score gets a bup for being tropical.

This beer pours a pleasant gold with a solid head. The aroma is refreshing with hints of tropical fruit, lemon juice, and a hint of earthy piney, hops. The flavor is tart and refreshing, with a ripe fruit tartness, and a solid background of piney hops. The mouthfeel is light with effusive carbonation. Overall this was a very pleasant, refreshing, tart beer. it went down very quickly.

Aroma is big wheat/grain and mild passion fruit/lemon. The flavor is passion fruit/fruit, wheat/malts, grapefruit/lemon and an equally tart/sweet finish.

Can poured into a Mountain Rambler Brewing Co pint glass
A: Pours slightly hazy golden amber with a frothy off white head that dissipates somewhat quickly, not leaving any lacing.
S: Pleasantly tart, hints of tropical fruit and citrus, faint spice, slightly crackery malt, and a little wheat twang.
T: Pleasantly tart, a touch of passion fruit, faint citrus, a hint grassy, crackery malt, and a little wheat twang,
M: Medium body, moderate carbonation.
O: This comes off more like a gose than a saison, more tart than anything, but it's refreshing on a hot day.

Uploaded picture you see
Bought a 6-pack Costco $8.99
Smell of lilikoi
Hazy golden color
Light-medium mouthfeel
Medium-high carbonation
Tart taste like unsweetened lemonade
Overall not really my type of beer. Seems like the tartness dominates to the point where no beer characteristics comes through.

Thanks to Alex for this one.
A nice tart, yeasty saison. Crisp for the style and easy to drink. Mild tropical fruit throughout and with a floral and tart finish.
