On tap at Social Costa Mesa.
Nice balance of pepper corn and citrus on the nose.
Crisp spiced Saison great for food pairings.

Bottle from Brewers Haven. Orange golden body with small white airy head. Peppercorns noticeable in the aroma, other softer fruity notes. Taste brings the pears out more, but the spices linger on the tongue. Overall, very well rounded, nice Saison base with perfect accents from the fruit and spice. Another pleasant surprise.

If you like peppery - have at it! If you don't - try something else. It's that simple for this highly flavored Saison. I'm thinking its a bit too strong on the pepper and not enough Saison yeast funk. Still, enjoyable for a one time experience. Glad I tried. Won't buy again.

Chill hazed Amber with a small white colored head.
Smell is WOW Black Pepper! I love black pepper so I might be biased. Bit of Honeysuckle and coriander but this is a pepper beer!
Starts out Black Pepper. Lots of Coriander. Little bitter with lots of flowery taste.
Tasty but I have had better.

Gold/orange (2 row instead of pilsner?) with a lacing of white foam.
Musty pepper.
Heat's pronounced and mixes with a little tang on the back. Nothing hop-wise or yeast-wise. Could really stand to be tarter and fruitier. I'd call it a pepper ale not a saison.
No texture, not totally wrong for the style.
