Dry hopped saison brewed with local rye and wheat.
Introducing Saison Dolores, Almanac’s newest year-round beer. A bright, aromatic brew for all seasons inspired by San Francisco’s Mission District. We combine barley, rye and Sonoran Wheat grown in Mendocino County and ferment the beer with our house Saison yeast. Finally we dry hop it to create a California Saison with flavors of spicy white pepper, fruity melon and a clean food friendly finish.
Enjoy this lively aromatic farmhouse ale with fresh seafood, funky washed rind cheeses and classic french-style charcuterie.
Canned version introduced in 2016 part of the fresh beer series, brewed and canned in San Francisco at Fort Point.

Draft. A hazy golden beer with a lazing yellowish head. The aroma has notes of spices, citrus fruits, and hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of citrus fruits, spices, malt, and hops, leading to a bitter finish.

On tap at Apex, pours a cloudy dull golden with a small white head. Aroma is bizarre, with feet, yeast, and floral notes. Flavour is along the same lines, with floral notes, saison yeast, and doughy notes. Fairly well-balanced but very strange. Okay.

Draught@Beer Temple, Amsterdam. Yellow slightly hazy colour with a mediumsized white head. Aroma is kind of sweetish sour apricot/peach juice. Flavour is peach, wood, some floral notes along with mild sour/tart wooden notes. Balanced and refreshing brew.

On tap at Nakameguro Taproom. Hazy golden color with a big rocky off-white head that lasts basically throughout. Aromas of wood, hay, mold and light pollen with some urine/sweat like aromas as well. As it warms up melon and stone fruit aromas come out. Taste is more of the same but dusty on the palate. A little heavy body-wise, but still interesting. Very rustic and nature-like. Would like the body a little lighter and finish a little crisper. Still a unique saison.
