Commercial Description:
Ballast Point Brother Levonian Saison is named for the late Dave Levonian, a San Diegan who was a great homebrewer, an avid beer enthusiast and generally just a really good person. Ballast Point is donating all of the money from the beer to his daughter’s college fund.

On tap @ main tap tavern. Yellow, hazy, fizzy pour. Flavor of wheat, grains, yeast. Very light, peppery hops. Sadly, this kind of reminded me of a macro lager. Very boring, to be honest.

DC Gathering, bottle courtesy of CaptainCougar. Murky unfiltered orange-tan color. Minimal, lacy head. Seawater bitterness in the aroma, quite complex. Very mellow mouthfeel coupled with a rich herby, spicy, earthiness. Bitter citrus notes. Deep and complex beer with lots of subtle nuances. Somewhat sugary, but in a quality way. Captures, and almost manages to improve upon, the hard to nail down Saison.

On tap at The Devil’s Den, served in a tulip glass. Gold with a mostly diminishing head. Teh smell was tart,spicy, peppery with notes of apple and apricot. The flavor is perfumey and tart with a dried fruit character. It was good and very drinkable but seemed to be lacking something that I can’t quite put my finger on.

From tap at Pizza Port in Solana Beach. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is light peppery saison yeasty. Dry yeasty and subdued malt flavoured. Light spiced yeasty base flavour. Ends smooth with a persisting yeasty touch and subdued bitterness.

Draught at the brewery. Clear gold with a small head. Aroma of some spices, lemon and oranges. The flavor is dry and bready with some spicy pepper and other spice. I’m getting quite a few things, but they seem to muddle and cancel each-other out. Light on body with lots of carbonation. I’d love to have this out of a bottle; I think that the conditioning could add some nice nuance, on-tap this was a bit messy.
