We looked to acclaimed Chef José Andrés to help us create a Spanish take on the farmhouse style saison. The addition of Lemon Verbena, pink peppercorn, sumac, and dried lime infuse the chef’s distinctive flavors into the brew – an ale purposefully crafted to compliment all your culinary endeavors. Or be savored all by itself.

Pour is a clear golden with a average white head. Aroma is a sure fire yeasty ester with lots of pepper on the backround. Flavor is more of the saison yeast, some maize like malt and then a hit of pepper. Another beer that hits all the saison aspects well. Plenty of yeasty esters with a nice hit of dry malt and pepper.

22 Oz bottle poured, purchased at the Portland brewpub. Pours a dark orange color with a disappearing head. Lemon like aroma. Flavor is a lot of lemon, with an obvious peppercorn spice. Nice floral hints throughout. Unique for sure. Pretty good.

Nothing special here, ordinary Saison. Added spices and herbs aren’t present in enough quantities to make a difference
