Saint Somewhere Lectio Divina

Brewed by Saint Somewhere Brewing Company
Style: Saison
Tarpon Springs, Florida USA

Sample tasted at "Spring in the new year with brett" at fordests house. I thought this one was quite a surprise. Enjoyed it.

Courtesy of Dragonstout. Pours a dark brown with a tan head. Reminded me more of a Quad then a Strong Ale. Very sweet. Hints of caramel, candied sugar, molasses, dark fruits, spices. Finished sweet and carbonation danced on my tongue. Loved every sip of this beer.

Shared 750ml bottle... pours a deep hazy amber with a really deep and large off tan head... this quickly settles down to a thin lacing... some funk and Belgian yeast along with deep dark fruits on the nose... a nice med body with some sweet sour notes taking strength and grabbing hold of the tongue...as the beer settles over the tongue the dark fruit notes come forward including plums, tart apples, and cherries... pleasant sour finish with a bit of sweetness... different twist on a Belgian sour.

A really fantastic brew courtes of John: From the bottle, it poured a cloudy reddish-orange colour with a big frothy of white head. Well carbonated, the crisp acidity played a little dance on my tongue (reminded me of Bell’s Sparkling Ale). Bright fruity notes on the nose- apple and pear. With a hint of brown sugar on the palate."

750ml bottle thanks to badbeer. Pours cloudy amber with a moderate sized, sticky looking white head, good lace. Smells fruity and spicy and yeasty. Pretty sweet. Tastes sweet and yeasty with lots of fruit flavors, plums, raisins and some red fruits, raspberries maybe. Some spicy yeasty bread flavors as well. Medium body, active carbonation. Pretty good.

Thanks dchmela for the 750ml bottle. Served cellar temp. Abundant carbonation in this bottle, with bubbles coming up from the bottom of the pour for almost the duration. Rather light and clear amber pour with huge off-white head. Yeasty, malty, maple syrupy nose with some cinnamon baked apple and woody tart cherry notes. Neither overly spiced nor overly sweet smelling. A little sourness on the nose, which is promising. Alcohol very well hidden. I’m liking this more as I get deeper into it. Really takes on the qualities of a Flemish sour the more it warms. I think this would disappoint in a tasting, but if you have the time to drink it for awhile, it definitely rewards. Very impressed with this brewery so far.

Bottle. Pours a deep brown with a thick light tan head. Aroma of delectable sweet fruits (apple, pear, fig). Flavor is also quite sweet with lots of candi sugar and sweet fruits (especially apple). Nice Belgian yeast profile and a touch of spices. Very smooth palate. Nice BSA. 8/4/8/4/15 (3.9/5)

"A beautiful beer," said the guy at Beer Table before he gladly took my $25 (ouch!) for the 750ml bottle. Copper color with lasting beige head. Aroma is brown sugar, dark fruits, spices, and earth. Good dark malts and yeast, some fruitiness and slight sour notes. Great full mouthfeel.
