Shed Hoppy Illumination

BCTC. Pours a cloudy yeasty deep gold and a nice fluffy lasting head. Aroma is yeasty- high phenolics, some farmhouse hints, grassy and herbal hops with some lemony tart hints. Dirty yeasty flavor which works well in this saison, herbal, big full bready malt profile, light sea-salt, and hints of brett throughout. Nice crisp dry finish. This was a very good Sasion.

Dark golden ale with a thin creamy white head. Pleasantly floral aroma with candy sugar. A sweet lemony saison with good floral hops, candy sugar, and nutty notes. A good surprise. Tap at BCTC 2006.

At BCTC 2006. Almost clear copper with a big white head. Hops, hops and more floral hops. Very juicy. Medium-high bitterness. Some citrus & cheese. Simple but effective. I was at the BCTC 2006 Belgium beer festival and I needed a hop fix to reset my palate from all those strong Belgium beer. That did the job better than a chainsaw to cut butter.

Hand bottled from the brewer courtesy of weeare138. Poured a deep and cloudy golden color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of yeast, funk, and some spices. My 3 year old daughter was downstairs when we opened this one and I asked her what it smelled like. She said, ’that smells like cheese’. And you know what, I agree with her, it does have a cheese aroma to it. Tastes of citrus, yeast, and light spices.

Poured a muddy brown color with a small, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus fruits, light spices, some barnyard, and somewhat cheesy, yeasty aspect as well. Taste of citrus fruits, dry, doughy yeast, spices, and a lightly bitter, hoppy finish.

Thanks to weeare138 for sharing this hand bottled from the brewer. Pours a deep hazy golden with an average bubbly head. When Mike opened this one up it exploded all over hopdogs bar. Aroma of cheese, funky, yeasty with some roastiness. Flavor of bread, some citrus, yeast and a slight hop bitterness.
