Commercial Description:
Our homage to the beers that have quenched the thirst of Belgian farm workers for centuries. Brewed with barley, wheat and rice and fermented at high temperatures with a special blend of four different yeast strains, Saison is fruity and slightly tart, with a dry finish that makes it that rarest of treats–a beer as refreshing as it is complex. 7.3% ABV.

Tap @ TacoMac, Crabapple. Hazy golden color. Bright white head. Some floaties. Aroma of citrus, light orange. Lots of breadiness and straw. Flavor has a big doughiness, lots of straw and hay. Lingering bitterness in the finish with a hint of lemon.

Pours a translucent golden with a medium bubbly white head. Aroma of floral and perfumey hops, spicy saison yeast esters and bready pils malt. Flavor of pepper, fruity saison esters, pils malt, nice and dry. Well done saison.

Color is a light yellow gold with a slight haze. Carbonation is good producing a big loose head. Aroma of spice and banana with a sour note. Taste is light, crisp and spicy. Starting with a lighter body it goes down with a crisp easy feel. Finish is a light sweet fruity taste with hints of banana and pear then a little yeast and coriander come in ending with a faint bitterness. After taste is dry with a mellow tart feel. This is a very good Saison very refreshing with light even flavors.

This bottled brew from a rating party poured a medium sized head of foamy finely sized white colored bubbles that were long lasting and left behind a hazy typically carbonated yellow-white colored body. The complex aroma was floral malty and farmhouse. The semi-thick mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of a malt backing and soft floral hops. Delicious and one I would certainly like to have again. very nicely done!

22oz bomber. Pours a hazy, cloudy straw/yellow with a medium-thick white head that leaves a few small spots of lace on the glass. The aroma is doughy and bready with hints of grass and grain. The flavor is mildly sweet, bready and malty, with subtle hints of clove spice and grassy hops. The finish is yeasty with subtle soft fruit esters, notes of grainy pilsner malt, and some light grassy hop bitterness that balances the beer brilliantly. The mouthfeel is sparkly and fluid with a medium-full body. Overall, this was an impressive farmhouse ale. I was genuinely surprised out how tasty and accurate for style this beer is. Very nice.

Straw yellow with a modest white head. Tart, citrus aroma with a touch of rice. Crisp, refreshing taste. Some tartness without being over bearing. Slightly fizzy. Clean finish. Very drinkable and enjoyable.

650 ml Bottle. Thanks to Dchmelas’ Super-Sixpack-Shipper. Wow! A very nice smack of instant flavor. Citrus, wheats, cherrys. Very refreshing! Enjoy!
