Black Fox Ete Saison

Draft @ Falling rock. Nose is clove and nutmeg with a little yeast. Flavor is pleasant spiciness with a nice round wheat and a crisp finish with just hints of hay and straw. Nice, highly drinkable saison.

Draft at Trinity 8/10/09-Pours a slightly hazy golden with a big white head. Aroma of yeast, coriander, and spices. Taste of the same with some more spices kicking in. This was a nice light bodied Saison.

Draft, Falling Rock. Milky dark yellow body, white head, fine-bubbled. Soft wheat and floral spiced nose, small amounts of banana and clove ala hefeweizen noted, mild lactic note as well. Body very smooth, medium dryness, silky mouthfeel. Doughy flavor of malted wheat, the yeast seems a cross between weizen and Belgian tripel. Overall it’s approachable and undemanding, no major brewing flaws, only complaint would be what appears to be a simple recipe but even so it’s easily drinkable and delicious.

On tap at Trinity Brewing in Colorado Springs. Color is a yellow gold with mild carbonation and a thin tight head. Aroma is a spicy yeast scent. It has a light body that goes down easy with a light Saison flavor, a nice orange note and clean after taste. Its a nice Saison.

On tap at Bristol Brewing poured a clear gold with a lasting white head. Aromas of straw, bread dough, yeast and light fruittiness. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of straw, light spice and a hint of fruittiness with a crisp dry finish.
