A blend of styles, Contact Light takes the best parts of the Saison and the IPA, folding in Mosaic and Amarillo hops for a spiced up, hop-forward grapefruit and peach refresher.

It pours golden-yellow and a bit hazy, but once the foam from the white head is gone, the haze vanished. Perhaps it is the color of the can, but there are hints of orange and a bit of farmhouse funk. It tastes bitter with hints of fruit. The orange is creeping in here from some hops (mosaic and Amarillo) that have nice citrus tones.

Had it from tap at the brewery into a tulip glass. Cloudy yellow color with with greathead and lacing.

Very different beer, sort of a cross between a saison and a strong Mosaic IPA. Very citrusy smell and taste. Imagine a cross between a traditional Belgian Saison and an IPA like Yellow Rose. Fun beer!

This is another Saison, with higher alcohol and dry hopped with Mosaic and Amarillo.

A: Pours a hazed golden/yellow color. A two finger white head forms with good retention and plenty of lace left behind.
S: Fruity hops up front, with pine and grapefruit. A bit of berry and melon aromas. Just a touch of spicy phenols in the mix.
T: Like the nose, the fruit flavors from the hops are the show. Grapefruit, berry, melon, and pine. Just a touch of spicy phenols and lingering bitterness. Certainly enjoyable, but I would like to see the yeast shine a bit more.
M/O: A medium body with crisp and effervescent carbonation. Finishes dry. This is a very enjoyable American IPA and Saison hybrid.

Like the Small Giant Grisette, this is something I would gladly come back to. With some more Saison yeast character, I can see this being excellent. As is, more IPA than Saison, but still love the simplicity and cleanness they have going. Will look forward to trying this again.
