Commercial Description:
A very unique beer, earthy, slightly tart and fruity. The Sassion French Farmhouse ale is a very refreshing summer beer. It’s interesting character earthy, spice, sweet-tart was inspired by "Fantome Automne" from Belgium.

G.A.B.F. 2008: (Labeled as Sassion) Hazy light golden pour. The aroma has some soft yeast notes, with apple crisp and soft citrus. Soft and fluffy on the palate. The flavor has some light sweet esters/yeasty, mildly tart lemon notes as well. Fairly clean finish with just a touch of yeast. Pretty nice.

Sampled on draught at the brewpub. Pours a cloudy bright yellow colour. Aroma is of lemons honey and flowers. Taste is wheaty and tart, slighty citrusy sourness. Otherwise nice beer.

Corn. There shouldn’t be corn flavor in a saison. A little sour, some wild yeast. This beer is all over the place. I love the style but this recipe needs refinement.

Draft pour from the brewpub. Hazy yellow appearance with fast dissapating head. Yeast, and malt aroma. Definite sweet honey and citrus flavor with a tart/bitter finish. A decent Saison.
