Commercial Description:
New Belgium's seasonal release, Saison, pays tribute to Belgian farmhouse ales brewed to celebrate the fall harvest. Pale bronze in color, our Saison is slightly spicy and delicately hopped. A sweet malty note glides along with herbal tones produced by an authentic Belgian yeast strain. The finish is surprisingly dry.
Originally, local brewers crafted Saison beers for seasonal workers in the farming community to enjoy at the end of their day. With typical hoppy character and an intriguing Belgian twist, Saison will appeal to hop lovers and wheat beer drinkers alike. Whether you're pushing a plow or a pile of paper work, Saison will help you bask in the afterglow of a job well done.
Saison - Enjoy the season.
Pale bronze in color, this delicately hopped ale has a bright, yeasty, artisanal quality worthy of toasting those long autumn sunsets.

Bottle: Copper color with a white head. Aroma of sweet malts, some caramel, and yeast. Flavor, yeasty, some spice, and some floral hops. Not bad, not much of a saison though, not a whole lot of funk.

Draft at Papago Brewing in Scottsdale, AZ. Clear orange color with a white head that laced the glass. Smelled of white wine, light brown sugar, and clove. Mildly acidic on the tongue and vinous with a subdued grainy malt flavor.

Pours amber with a two-finger white head that leaves good lacing. Tons of spice in the aroma, along with yeast and very light earthy, herbal hops. Citrusy, spicy flavor, with a dose of earthiness on the finish. Sweet malts are too present, and there’s a metallic, blood-like flavor that I can’t get past.

One of the better beers I’ve tried from NBB, but I still get that Fat Tire flavor in there like most of the new beers that I’ve tried from them. Pretty good spices though.

Had this on tap at hydro in calistoga. Wasn’t to pleased with this one. The flavors just didn’t mesh well in my mouth. Very strong flavors, but they weren’t complimenting each other. No thanks.
