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

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.

750 ml bottle courtesy of bvc. Pour is cloudy white golden orange with slightly off white two inch head that falls pretty fast. Not much lacing to speak of. Aroma of earthy wheat, citrus orange peel and a mineral note. Some ashiness present. Nice, fresh nose. Taste is honey, wheat, and the earthiness. There is also some bitterness from the orange peel. Ginger present throughout. Palate is medium, mouth coating with a pleasant earthy mineral aftertaste. Thanks Brandon.

750ml. Pours a cloudy yellow with a large foamy white head that lasts. Very mild aromas of spice, yeast and a bit of citrus. Flavor is a funky forward brew with yeast and some bitterness. I didnt like this much at first but it has warmed up to me. pun intended.

Bottle. Low and quickly disappearing white head. Hazy dark yellow thick looking body. Acidic lemon oranges aroma. No hops grapefruit sour acfidic flavor. Low carbonation. Long bitter aftertaste. Would have expected more fruityness and that it was sweeter than was actually the case.
