This saison has been infused with a herbaceous blend of Stone Farms and locally harvested sage, lemon thyme, rosemary and parsley and dry-hopped with Citra hops for a refreshing finish. First brewed in 2010, this citrusy farmhouse ale was named Saison du BUFF in tribute to the ad hoc coalition that Sam (Dogfish Head), Bill (Victory) and Greg (Stone) formed in 2003. Called Brewers United for Freedom of Flavor (BUFF), it was their way to show the beer industry that they were banding together to make room on the shelf for craft beer. Six years later this farm-to-kettle beer still boasts the use of freshly picked local herbs as well as Citra and Centennial hops to infuse crisp, savory, mouthwatering flavors.

A fluffy white head with persistent lacing over a straw coloured body. A rich nose features spices, saison yeast, lemon and malt. This is a hybrid that works! Eucalyptus, nutmeg, cloves, lemon, pepper and orange rind hops come at you from all directions. Some sweet malt and saison yeast work with significant effervescence and a rich smooth body to add to the taste experience. A work of art.

Bottle from Biernavigatie. Aroma is very herbal with thyme, sage, grassy, yeast, lemon, green tea, mint, bittering hops, and light biscuity malt. Flavour is light to moderate sweet with a fairly dry medium bitter finish. Body is medium. Very herbal, not quite they way I prefer my Saison, but this is well-brewed stuff.

Hazy deep golden colour, small frothy white head, fairly lasting, minimal lacing. Aroma malts, lemon, ginger, laos, herbs. Taste medium sweet and bitter, malty, grainy, spices and herbs. Dry bittersweet finish, herbal notes, lingering spiciness, medium body, oily texture, lively carbonation. Nice mixture of spice ale and saison.

Many thanks to Beerhunter111 for sharing! The beer starts mild and fresh. Smooth, round and wheaty. The yeast is a bit funky and spicy, pepper, herbs, very dry. Long smooth wheaty dry aftertaste, round and refreshing, interesting! The herbs are there, fresh and round with the spicy yeast in the back. Nice!
