Harpoon Saison

On Tap@hill tavern. golden color thin foam, aroma is sweety and citrus, flavor is refreshing and something else. Mouthfeel is a smooth bitterness.

I had this one in the cellar for a while, it was due to drink! 100 barrel series.
Very Saison-esque golden/peachy with a pearly white head that didn’t last too long, but I’ll blame that on the fact that it’s a little aged.
Pickled ginger and peppermint aromas, then 3Vandoo nailed a good one: it smelled like Tiger Balm. Some orange rinds as well. More complex than I expected! Not particularly yeasty, but interesting nonetheless.
Still quite prickly on the tongue after all the time waiting patiently in my cellar, the yeast was a bit more present in the flavor, with a mild hop finish that made it quite refreshing, as a good saison should be. Well done!

hazy orange, whispy frothy white head, sweet lemon and ginger aroma, big body, lots of dry spiced flavor, nice lemon character, balancing earthy bitterness

Beer pours light amber with a decent sized head. It has notes of pepper and citrus on the nose. The palate shows notes of floral and citrus with a light finish of spices.

bottle. Bought at brewery about a year ago. Golden color a tad bit cloudy but pretty clear. Light floral taste with some suddle spices to it. also some nice citrus flavors in there.
