Dry hopped saison with Galaxy, Hallertau Blanc, & Cascade.
Have you been feeling the pull of something a bit different than your usual? Us too. ENTANGLED intertwines Belgian yeast character with a delicately ensnared dry hop of galaxy, hallertau blanc & cascade to form this refreshing take on the saison style.
Tasting Notes: prickly, hybrid, pleasant

Tall can. Slightly hazy yellow with a white head. The aroma has some funky decaying citrus, light spicy anise, vanilla. The flavor is light and fruity with a small bite of tartness in the finish.

Surprisingly not very Bearded Iris-like for a dry-hopped saison from the brewery. Stays very close to a traditional farmhouse ale, grassy and mellow and sweet, clove and wheat and vanilla offset by lemondrops and yeast, followed by a modest bitterness on the finish. Hints of pepper, hay, and spice draw out the fade. Not sure what the dry-hopping adds, since Entangled ends up a pretty spot-on classic saison, albeit a well-made one. Pretty good nose, hints of wheat and cereal and clove but watered down. Pretty pour, though, coming out a hazed yellow with a mild head and some lacing. Texture is sparkly but a bit weak. A good saison anyway,

Can from Craft Brewed. Pours a milky looking straw color with a full 2 fingers of foam that dissipate quickly. Lots of pear, clove and star anise in the nose with green pineapple, papaya and apple coming out as it warms. Good Belgian yeast character as well. Body is a touch too rich and oily for saison though. Slightly too well-rounded. Missing that crisp and clean carbonation and mouthfeel. Lemon custard on the finish with some prickly peppercorn character and lingering hoppy bitterness. Well-done, but different for the style for sure. Still I think a lot of people will be like "Bearded Iris should stay in their lane" or whatever, but still this is a solid take on a saison that tries to keep what Bearded Iris does well in play.
