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.

355 ml bottle, from a trade with Cunningham. ABV is 6%. Pale golden colour, crystal clear first, hazy when the yeast is poured in the end. Huge white head. Surprisingly moderate aroma of spicy saison yeast and grain, not remarkable. Spicy saison yeast in the flavour too, bitter finish. Again some grainy notes. Far from the best saison I’ve had. .

Bottle. Fruity sweet and spicy saison with notes of apples, ginger and thyme. Maybe not the most classic saison but a nice and spicy refresher.

Flaska från SBs beställningssortiment. En kryddig, örtig och blommig saison. Inte jättemycket saisonkaraktär, men lätt, friskt och ganska torr och med mycket karaktär från kryddorna. Timjan, lavendel, citrus, hö, gräs, lite parfymig, relativt stor beska för stilen. Annorlunda och trevlig.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy bright golden color with a large foamy yellow-white head that lingered but left minimal lacing. The aroma was lemon, lemon zest and a bit of yeast. The flavor was tart lemon, yeast, lime, pepper and a strong bubblegum presence. Medium length finish. Medium body. Pleasant.
