    Saw this popped up at Julio's and other MA locations. Does this mean more Grassroots will be on the way to MA?

    No, it means Anchorage distributes to MA

    Soirée was released in ak in December. Grassroots Anchorage arctic saison batch 2 was released last month. So maybe you'll see that one down the line.

    Any of the Anchorage/ Grassroots beers that get brewed by Anchorage will be distro'd to their usual spots. Maine got some as well. It's a great summer saison.

    There's something really weird about about the nose on this beer, think gym socks soaked in grapefruit juice. Maybe a bad bottle? Had one at a tasting with some friends and we all agreed it was unpleasant-smelling.

    Loved loved lovvvvvvved Arctic Saison as well. I still grabbed a Soiree but haven't popped it yet. Not expecting the same awesomeness.

    Honestly, I think it's better than Arctic Saison. The hibiscus and lime make it a perfect summer saison, really refreshing and complex.

    My only problem with it was how ridiculously light in body it was. Like Berliner weisse light.
