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.

Tap at Redhot. Hazy golden color with nice white head. Aroma is citrusy, spicy (rosemary and the likes), herbal. Taste is spicy and herbal again, slight citrus freshness, big-bubbled, but medium carbonation. Some phenols recognizable, not too dry. Lacks that undescribable dirty ruralness. Still a good beer though.

Keg at Man in the Moon, Stockholm. Clear golden, coarse head. Perfumy lavender aroma. Mid sweet with medium body rounded, spritzy mouthfeel. Some marzipan, lots of lavender, notes of coriander. Fruity and quite shallow with excessive carbonation. Low bitterness. Dominated by spices.

Bottle from Spirit of Mt. Seymour, North Vancouver
Hazy golden color with small head. Light, dry, smooth beer, very refreshing, with a strong spicy character, starting from the coriander. I will remember this one more as a Spice Beer than a Saison, but it’s very good.

Pours a slightly hazy amber from a bottle. Fruity nose that withers away to an almost creosote-y dryness. Meh.

(Draught at Beer Temple, Amsterdam, 28 Aug 2015) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Malty, spicy nose with notes of grass, hay, bread and spicy hops. Malty, fruity taste with citrus, bread, hay and a balanced herbal, earthy bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty and well made saison. Quite nice.
