In spring 2011, Stone bought the farm, literally, taking over 19 acres of fertile Southern California soil where we now grow pristine fruits, vegetables, herbs and more for our Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens restaurants. A taste of our homespun farm-to-tableism is provided in this farmhouse ale. Lemon zest, grains of paradise, lemon thyme and lavender harvested in Southern California fields, including our own at Stone Farms, provide citrus and floral character along with a subtle, tantalizing spice. Thanks to the infusion of fresh West Coast ingredients, this isn’t your everyday saison. It’s our saison—100% Stone.

We made some minor changes to the beer this year, using German pilsner malt to increase the malt flavors. Additionally, we adjusted the proportions of lavender, lemon thyme, grains of paradise, lemon peel and habanero peppers to provide a great blend showcasing each ingredient within the overall balance of the beer.

Bottle. Another Saison. Dark gold that’s slightly cloudy and a giant head. Aroma is a tad fruity and spicy. Taste is grains, spice and well balanced.

A little weak for the typical saison, one that might be good for new drinkers of the variety.

Bottle at Antenna America. Lots of lavender and basil. Smells like pot pourri or an old ladies drawer. Taste is different, orange fanta, with a touch of salt. Herbal. Hey, it's alright, but a bit weird. Bit too spicy maybe or is it the booze. Finish is fill of lavender, not so nice.
