New World Saison

Draught @ BBB. Pours very hazy pale orange with a huge frothy white head that slowly dissipates while leaving some lacing and trace on the glass. Smell is fruity and tiny phenolic with crackers, pineapple, mango, passion fruit, gooseberries, hay, dry soil, white pepper corns, white grapes and star fruit. Taste is bitter, fruity and tiny phenolic with crackers, grapefruit juice, pineapple, passion fruit, gooseberries, star fruit, hay, dry soil, white pepper corns, grass, lemon zest and grape skins. Mouthfeel is crisp, dry and light bodied. Finish is slightly bitter, fruity and slightly phenolic with crackers, passion fruit, grape skins, grass, dry soil, white pepper corns, white grapes and hints dill. Very hoppy modern saison. Alcohol 100% hidden. Dangerous and one of the best Swedish interpretations of the style so far. --- Beer merged from original tick of New World Saison on 02 Aug 2014 at 21:21 - Score: 8
