This is a awesomely killer beer that we brewed up with the dudes from 4 Hands Brewing in the STL. We put in a little pink peppercorn just because we could and bummed a great yeast from Perennial Artisal Ales from way south Saint Louis.

750ml bottle poured into a tulip. Pours a clear gold with about 2 fingers of white head. Aroma is mostly spicy yeast. Taste is about the same. Light bodied with a thin texture. Lively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, very good. I would gladly drink it again.

Interesting name. The 750mL bottle poured hazy deep gold with thin off white head. The aroma is full of apricots, apples and yeasty saison spiciness then a sense of soft wheat and bubble gum. The taste basically follows suit with a nice load of sweet light skinned fruitiness mixing with saison yeast spiciness and then some smooth soft wheat notes. Nice.

Capped 750 from Wine & Cheese in Clayton, MO. Pours dishwater gold with a white creamy 4 finger head. Aroma is citrus, pale malt with earthy hints. Near full bodied. Flavor is hot spice, earthy, pale malt, citrus, maybe touch of tropical fruit. I think it’s a little confused/complex. Certainly drinks nice. Feels good in the mouth. Cries out for something spicy food wise. There’s some hope, a little malt sweetness, but overall I’d say it’s earthy. Drinks really nice.

750 from Wine and Cheese Place. Oours a hazy golden orange with a fizzy head and lots of streams of carbonation coming to the surface. Aromas are really intense doughiness with butterscotch and herbs. Interesting, but we will see about how that butterscotch fits in... First sip reveals that... Yep... This works! I like it. Flavor is like the good combination of the stuff I talked about in the nose. Not like the several train wreck scenarios that played out in my imagination as I thought about it after writing it. It hits the palate a little bit sweet.a.. Almost honey sweetness, then it moves between butterscotch, bread dough, lemon zest and a very slight funkiness. This is a damn fine Saison in my book. Oh... And it makes me want to kill the shit out of unicorns...

First rating woot! Pour is a clear yellow with a large white head. Aroma is cloves and a nice spicy hop. Flavor deffinatly has some dusty barnyard going on. This is followed by a decent spice, pepper and citrus fruit. Finish is a little sour. Good saison from a local brewer.
