With a touch of rosehips and a hint of locally-harvested Meyer lemon, this blonde ale rested in Sante Arcangeli Family Wines’ chardonnay barrels with our house culture until achieving a pleasant tartness. The resulting beer is bright and refreshing, but with a complex barrel character. As you enjoy this beer with friends, we hope you are reminded to offer each other the gift of comfort — one of the most important gifts we can give one another. Sante!

75cl bottle @ Benzai's Anti-Carnival Valentine's Day Tasting, Feb 26. Pours clear gold, white head. Very rustic sour.. nice depth with funk and assorted wild elements emerging as you journey through, gentle barrel influence, nice sipper, fancy label too.

Bottle shared at Anti-Carnavalstasting 2026. Clear golden color, small white head. Aroma and flavor are no where near a saison. This is a sour. Plain and simple. And a pretty sad one as well. One dimensional, sour, I'm disappointed. SARA used to be on top of their game but this is way way way off.

Funky, vinous and grapey with some zesty lemon, lime and grapefruit, hints of citrusy sourness and spices. Complex slow sipper.

Bottle from my wife: pours gold with white head. Aroma is lightly funky and slightly floral and fruity. Taste is dry, not very sour. Quite good.

Yummy golden ale with lemony sweetness and funk, a bit tarter than I expect from SARA but I love it nonetheless.

Bottle courtesy of Linus. Hazy yellow pour with a white head. Very simple sour with pretty much all lemon juice, minerals, dry soil & lemon zest. Very tasty but perhaps too simple. --- Beer merged from original tick of Sante Adairius The Gift of Comfort on 29 Sep 2017 at 21:43 - Score: 8.
