Brewed with Canadian Pilsen malt and BC grown hops, this is a warm fermented, Belgian style saison made truly unique by the addition of local honey mussels grown and harvested by BC Mussel Company, in the boil. The soft, sweet flavour of these delicate bivalve mollusks compliments the slightly fruity esters of our French Saison yeast and makes for a totally one of a kind offering.

Slight haze. Blonde. A slightly honeyish nose, with dried flowers, and bland sugar. Sweet with some florals, no sign of mussels, just esters and bubblegum and that’s not something I am into.

At Matt’s place. 650ml bottle. Pours a clear golden. Aroma and taste are malty, slightly flowey, with some notes of mussel on the back ground. Meh.

Tasting at Matt’s
Blond color. The aroma is a bit spicy, with some mellow flowery aroma. Sweetish carbonated soda, with very little beer character, very low bitterness. I’m put off by the usage of mollusks.
Bland.

650mL bottle, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma is weird, with maybe a slight briney touch atop Belgian yeast and attenuated honey. Flavour brings out fermented out honey and Belgian yeast. Not getting any of the mussels. Reasonable, but pretty meh.
