Rustic but acidic, thin when fully warm, this is still a delightful saison, a pleasure to look at and an aromatic wonder. Peppery for sure. Thanks to Lou18 for the sample.

Bottle courtesy of Mullman. Murky golden-orange in color, with white head made of tiny bubbles. Musty-yeasty aroma with lemon-like flower hop character, orange zest and maybe some pepper. Flavor again was very floral with zesty fruit, slight sourness through the middle. Finish hsa a nice combo of pepper and hops. Very well done.

Thanks to Dickinsonbeer for sharing this at the January gathering. Poured a cloudy effervescent amber with a large fizzy off-white head. Fruity sweet aroma with coriander and apples. Light acidic flavor with some lemon and some piney hops, fizzy body. Clean and light, this would make a nice lawnmower beer.

1.14.06 Cowboys light your fires. Heavyweight has never once yet let me down. Proving time and again that great things often come in small packages. The 2nd Saison de la Soeur variation I have had, and just as good as the other. Saisons rule. Heavyweight rules. New Jersey Rules. (sorry bizniz, nice apartment)

Nice beer. Nice touch of hops in the aroma and finish. This was a great idea by heavyweight and they did a great job.

Bottle: Courtesy of JCW. Yeasty aroma with hints of fruity tartness and flowery hoppiness. Pours a hazy dull orange with a soapy white head. Yeasty up front with light tartness. Finishes with a spicy floral hoppiness. I would say this is spicier than the Saison de la Soeur Spicy.

Fourth and final heavyweight Saison of the night. What a great opportunity. I would like to thank my buddy Ben for bringing so much back from NJ. I got him some Schlafly for the return trip. Anyway...Hazy, with fair sized sediment, and an amber hue. Lacy white head. Citrus hops. Bready banana yeast. Pine and citrus flavors with a light malt roast. Great hop character and full bodied. This was a toss up, but I gave it the silver for the Saison line.
