Coast Range Farmhouse Saison 7

Formerly brewed at Coast Range Brewing Co.
Style: Saison
Gilroy, California USA

Pours yellow and hazy with a white head. Smells perfumy and light with soem hoppy elements and sugar. Tastes grassy with earthy hops prevelant and some malty backbone.

hazed orange pour...hay & yeast in the nose...yeasty, grassy flavors with a smidgen of vegital bitterness. Actually, i think its quite a nice saison in the dupont tradition.

Aroma has a strong DMS or corn like/vegetal character. This can also be found in the flavor profile. Has some lemon and melon flavors but dominated bvy a strong unappealing hay-like wheatiness. Also has a strong maltiness that I find to be very inappropriate to the style. Hop flavor is low but dirty and corse, and leaves a bad finish in your mouth.

Any first impressions?
-A veil of foam straddles the cloudy straw yellow.
-Doughy yeast is self-important in the aroma, shielding the green pepper water.
-Cereal sweetness and citrusy wheat walk close by, but aren’t sure if they’ll together for very long.
-Carbonation is appropriate for the style, but the mushy mouthfeel isn’t very appealing to me.

What if you dig deeper?
-Dry hop bitterness and yeast rise in the finish.
-The herbal spiciness of coriander is unpolished.
-All in all, this feels like a cross between a bulky witbier and a yeasty, heavily-spiced ale.

Bottle; no date.

Light bright yet cloudy golden pour producing a pretty and delicate white head. A darker witbier. Strongly yeasty perfume hints at flowers and exotic fruits (pineapple and banana namely). A bit overdone with the coriander in the nose, while uneffective leafy hops fail to reduce the sweetness apparency. An honest attempt that remains restrained and a bit underattenuated to my tastes, bordering a maltier, thicker witbier of strong yeast influence though you may argue that the carbonation is dynamic enough if the bubbles might be a bit smaller than my favourite saisons’.

Very belgian character. Banana, orange peel, cloves, and other spices. Tons of fruit, lots of berries. Actually, a bit too much. Complex flavor. Not bad.

A lemon and corn aroma. I dont want corn aromas in my saison por favor. The flavor is really sweet and not complex in the least. Some lemons, corn, hay, and bananas. It was rather thin also. This just wasnt good.

Thanks to egajdzis for this... Appears a transparent, light, piss toned gold with a small white head that fades into a mild collar. Smell is of funk, lemon, cloves, light banana, mild wax-pack bubblegum, and yeast. Taste is a slight drop off from the aromas but basically the same. Mouthfeel is mildly sweet, light bodied, with a yeasty finish.
