    Opened a second can at the store, and I'm getting straight sulfur on the nose. Again. Sulfur, sulfur, sulfur. I have yet to be a real fan of any of their collaborations, but this one seems truly flawed. Anyone else getting this?

    Lemongrass is tough. It also has the ability to resemble detergent like in Fort George's quick witt. Shudder!

    I haven't had it, but it sounds delicious. do you think the lemongrass caused the sulfur off taste?

    No sulfer- I really like it.
    As for other collaborations, I've only had the one with Jolly Pumpkin and that was good too

    I got a definite metallic taste on the first few drinks. It did seem to fade over the entire session, but it wasn't a great start.

    Are you saying it kinda smells like a fart? If so, I've noticed that many saisons. Sometimes just a little musty, earthy, mild funk, and sometimes it's been full on "someone just ripped one" or barnyard, funky, stank!
    It blows my mind that some of these stinky ass beers can still taste good and be refreshing.

    We do plenty of free tastings for customers. They're great.
