Commercial Description:
A very special brew for our fifth anniversary. Brewed with a blend of rye and pale malts, spicy American hops, and a classic farmhouse yeast, for a tart, peppery body and an amazing dry finish. Here’s to five years of Yazoo!

Cloudy brownish amber, and a thin foamy beige head. Definate rye aromas up front, with some more typical saison funk in the background.Very tart flavor at first, then a mix of rye, lemon and herbs. Seems a little odd, but I liked it.

Bottle from kp (I think) at February Houston Tasting. Thanks, dude! Pours with a weak orange, thin body with a straw-heavy wheat aroma. Flavor is lemon, coffee, and cold medicine. Bubbly mouthfeel. Not very good.

Pours a hazy deep golden yellow with a fleeting white head. Sweet candy malt, fruity aroma. Lightly sweet yet not overly complex. Somewhat middle of the road for the style, but a beer that is well done and it is certainly nice to see the effort from a local brewer.

Bottle, shared by NachlamSie. Pours gold with sticky off-white head. The aroma is fruity with noticeable rye; there’s some pear, lemon, peach, coriander, and plenty of sweetness, too. The flavor is rye and light honey and a somewhat bracing fruit and spice combo that makes my jaw twitch at first, but I come to like it after a few sips. It gets more mellow the more I drink. The finish is tropical with a little bit of dryness. Decent.

Draft at brewery. Pours hazy amber with a retentive off white head. Aroma of yeast and funky esters. Flavor of Rye, lemon, and spice. Slight phenolic finish. Interesting concept, but this is not working for me. Perhaps I need to revisit.

Clear orange-yellow with a big soft off white head. Aroma is spicy rye malt, sweet, some light fruitiness, esters. Taste is a nice fruitiness from the yeast that plays with the peppery rye malt. Solid and spicy. A cool saison.

5th anniversary bottle. Cloudy orange with fair white head. Orange citrus aroma with hints of white pepper spice. Flavor is orange peel, a twinge of sourness, and a little hop spice. Medium thin body with moderately high carbonation. Refreshing change of pace, but not really a winter beer.
