Commercial Description:
Super Saison is brewed especially for the Christmas season, a strong saison that has a touch of candy sugar, and plenty of Styrian and East Kent Goldings hops. Look for a complete line of saisons by Spring 2005.

Very cloudy, light pale body with small white head. The aroma is honey, peach, pineapple, banana and citrus. The flavor is pepper, peach, banana cream, coriander, floral and herbal hops. Medium/full body is very soft with a bitter end. Thanks for sharing this rare treat Jeff!

Sampled from a bottle thanks to jeffin7. Murky gold and orange colored body, 1/2 inch thick white head. Lemon creame full on in the nose with some yeast esters, light a bit empty up front, but makes up for it later on... spritzy and lightly frothy pineapple (someone said this, so of course I then smelled it), rich and moderately high alcohol notices, very good, very sticky, very chewy. A great saison with a bit of age taste but still tastes remarkable.

750mL bottle, courtesy of jeffin7 (his last bottle!). Did I ever expect to see this beer? No, Jeff. No I did not. Milky, yellow-amber color; patchy white head. Creamy pineapple, tropical fruits, and vanilla-y esters; layered, complex aroma; I could smell this for hours. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: creamy esters and vanilla and yeast; beautiful complexity, average carbonation; chewy, creamy saison (reminiscent of SPF 45, but better); hints of white pepper and spice; great stuff. Lengthy, estery and creamy vanilla finish.

Ken’s Thirsty Thursday Throw Down - 2005 bottle - Ultra hazy gold, white creamy head. Fantastic nose of orange and lemon that lays on a wafts of pineapple cream and hints of funked grassy tones. Well balanced fruity flavors are pulled together with nice herbal bready and grassy notes. Full bodied, medium carbonation, lightly bitter finish. This brew is in it’s prime right now. Real nice brew. Thanks for sharing Jeff...
