Commercial Description:
This Farmhouse Ale traces its roots to the small rustic breweries of Southern Belgium. The word Saison comes to us from the French language and it means Season. Lightly spiced with Organic Ginger, Orange Peels, Black Pepper and Grains of Paradise, this brew promises to quench your thirst on the hottest Southern California days or wherever your travels may take you. Available in 750 ml bottles and on draft at select inspired locations.

Editor's note. This is a new incarnation of SPF 45, previously brewed at Pizza Port Solana Beach

Bottle from Monument. This beer tasted all sorts of orange and slight honey and spices. Surprisingly, I liked it, despite shying away from Siasons.

Poured a murky gold color with a large white head. Smelled of spices. Tasted of orange with spcies that made the tongue tingle. Great drinkable beer.

Bottle: Pours an effervescent golden with a thick dense, pillowy white head. Aroma is citrusy with orange marmalade, honey, a peppery yeast and a spice note- of bay leaf? Fluffy and crisp carbonation. The flavor has some orange zest which meshes with a mineral-like note. Dusty phenols and lots of herbal spiciness comes through as well. A crisp wheat touch is also detectable with American hop spiciness to dry it out. Remains dry, yet it’s a touch mineraly to me. Still a solid Saison, highly drinkable.

Bottle and on draft at monks. Pours an orange pale cloudy body with a 2 finger white head. Upfront with lots of coriander and citrus peel light ginger and pepper spice. Dry with a bitter finish. Great stuff esp for a regular offering.

Pours murky yellow orange with a lasting white head. Fluffy with some decent lace left behind. The aroma smells like a citrus soap, with a tad of peppery spice. The flavor has the same citrus spice as in the aroma with a bit of doughy flour flavor. Mild and drinkable though. Things are a bit more assertive in the finish. Medium to full body with lilce carbonation and a perfume dry finish. A fine beer, but not something I will seek again.

Bottle: Wheaty, full bodied, bready and grainy. Sweet and nicely spiced. Note: keep the sediment IN the bottle.

Attractive golden beer with a diminishing frothy white head. Musty, earthy notes in the nose with orange and spices. Nice citrus flavors of orange and lemon. Yeast, spice, and tart fruitiness. Very drinkable saison, without too much of the soapiness that taints others.

Tasting at Brewtopia Beer Fest. Cloudy golden pour wtih a frothy head. Aroma is earthy, spicy, citrus and some yeasty notes. Flavor is dry and a tad sour with notes of autumn spices, earthy notes and yeast,
