Logs for this tasting

There's no way this should have tasted good, but it did! The fragrance had plenty of habanero and a weird pungent funkiness, which wasn't promising, but the flavor was quite bright and light. Saisony with a fruity opening, bright habanero flavor and then just enough high heat to leave a nice closing buzz. Did not have the overwhelming habanero of the Sculpin, which was a real fear based on the smell. Breakside stays on its streak.
What a surprise, who would have though that such a weird mix would produce such a pleasant beer! Light saison flavors are complemented by a mild litchi sweetness and a very light habanero spiciness.
Sweet start and spicy finish. Thin body, wet sweet.
