North By Northwest Saison 700

Brewed by North By Northwest Restaurant and Brewery
Style: Saison
Austin, Texas USA

<b>11/05/2008</b>: North by Northwest Saison 700 as a soft, but fragrant aroma that is yeasty and fruity with notes of cooked applesauce, cinammon, and a alcohol. The flavor is quite good and has a good punch for a Saison. It is fruity and spicy with undertones of ginger, pepper, lemony citrus, and something slightly sour. This beer has a medium body and is smooth on the palate. Its appearance is a haze to cloudy golden yellow color with a foamy white head that is lasting and leaves some lacing on the glass. I like this beer and would recommend it. I reminds me a little bit of the Nogne O Saison only this one is even better.

<i>22 oz. bottle (6,5% ABV) shared by alexsdad06 at the weekly Party Source gathering. Thanks Brad! Rating #21 for this beer...</i>

Bottle from bleeng at the October Houston tasting. Thanks!
Pours an average yellow with an aroma of garbage food and vegetable. Watery lemon zest flavor. Average mouthfeel. Not enough oomph.

bottle thanks to bleeng shared at October Houston Tasting. Pours a cloudy yellowish orange with a thin white head. Nose is yeast, lemon and spice. taste is apple, lemon and nutty. Mouthfeel is medium. this was a forgettable, but easy-drinking saison.

(22oz bottle, courtesy of travita) Pours a cloudy golden body with a small white head. Aroma of mustiness, plastic, light citrus, floral, and butterscotch. Flavor of sweet malt, butter, herbal tea, florals, and light citrus.

Bottle. Yellow to golden in color with not too much head. Smell is butter, oily, fruits, musty. Taste is light fruit, spiced, plastic. Decent but a little off.

bottle, golden color, strong nose of rotting fruits, flavors of apple juice and nuts, finish is buttery smooth

Bottle from the brewpub. Hazy dark gold with a fleeting head. Aroma is tart wheat with some mild spices. Medium body with light carbonation. Nice grainy malt, lightly tart wheat flavors with a hint of clove. Tastes more like a basic wheat ale than a Saison. Decent enough flavor, just not what i’d expect from this style.

bottle thanks to travita. nice opaque yellow with a ring of white froth. malts, spices and an overall earty scent. that’s quite a peppery beer. very smooth on the palate and a smooth finish actually.
