This is the story of a brewer who walks into the National Gallery of Art while in Washington D.C. for SAVOR to gain inspirational ideas for new beers to brew. As he admires the bountiful works of art, he settles into a calming bliss that leads effortlessly into a trance-like state of utter tranquility. His mind expands as he strolls and peruses the masterpieces before him. In time, he is lured to a painting that quietly yet assuredly speaks to him and, posthaste, he becomes infatuated with its display of simplicity coexisting with great detail. What better artist to settle on but one whose vision evoked the same response from great masters such as Matisse and Picasso, who remarked that Paul Cézanne “is the father of us all”. Still life artwork was prevalent in this French Post-Impressionist painter’s repertoire. The result of this inspiration is a Saison that blends a classic Saison DuPont yeast with yellow peaches added during fermentation. The elixir is then aged in oak barrels to enhance its complexity. “A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art”. -Cézanne

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.5


Location: Draft at the brewery, 1/17/15

Aroma: It has a fairly light aroma, with some fruity notes, mild funk, and a bit of spice.
Appearance: A clear golden-orange colored beer with a small off white head and light lace.
Flavor: Flavor leans toward the spice side, mildly funky, and a light sweetness.
Palate: It has a solid mouthfeel, with a medium body, and a soft carbonation
Overall Impression: This is decent overall. A little too much spice for my tastes though in this style, and a little lacking from the peach perspective.

Draft at the source. Cloudy golsen color, bright white edge head. Aroma of light funk. Taste is soft sour, but not much of the barnyard dustiness I like in a saison.

Keg at The Answer Brewpub. Pours a murky orange with a thin head. Poor head retention. Aroma of tart peach, canned tropical fruits, mild doughy malt, spice. The taste is tart peach, doughy malt, mild butter, spicy finish. Medium bodied, low carbonation.
