So how did we come up with the name? Well…When it came time to name this beer Jean wanted to call it Alien Baphomet, which was too scary for us. Instead, we chose Bath-o-mat & Washeteria, which is close enough and possibly equally scary! Inspired by a stay across the street from our dear friend Polly’s Washeteria, Prytania Washateria, located in the hauntingly beautiful city of New Orleans.
Mornings, I live in a world of darkness populated by demons born of my anxiety ridden mind. Waiting for the sun to rise.
Evenings, I meet them at the washeteria, joking and reminiscing, drinking beer and doing the laundry. Waiting for the sun to rise.
Cheers & Mahalo plenty!

Bottle. Pours a hazy yellow orange gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a bit of lemon bite with some almond, a bit of oak and a bit of funk underlying. Flavor has a nice tart lemon with a good amount of oak with some funky fruits with a bit of light grains and leaves underlying.

Draft at Beer Mongers in PA. Slick yellow pale color. Moderately sticky lacing. This beer has a lot going on with ingredients but is much simpler when tasting it. Lemon, actual lemon, definitely comes through. Brett funk also in apparent. All the adjuncts really do add a lot of random nuisance to the beer. Flavor has a bit of light acidity and abtart finish. It's a light beer with a body that's felt, not thinned out, and a light bitterness at end of flavor to round it off. Well done.

750 ml bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 2/15/2018. Pours slightly hazy medium golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky white head with awesome retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Dense soapy lacing clings on the glass. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big lightly tart lemons, peels, lime, saffron, almond, peach, pear, melon, red/green apple, white wine, peppercorn, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, toasted oak, wheat, cracker, and white bread; with lighter notes of leathery/musty funk, white vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/funky/spicy/light acidic yeast, fruit, spices, earthy hops, and moderate pale malt/grain notes; with great strength. Taste of big lightly tart lemons, peels, lime, saffron, almond, peach, pear, melon, red/green apple, white wine, peppercorn, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, toasted oak, wheat, cracker, and white bread; with lighter notes of leathery/musty funk, white vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness. Light-moderate peppery yeast/oak tannin spiciness, herbal/floral/grassy bitterness; light fruit tang, and lactic tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart lemons, peels, lime, saffron, almond, peach, pear, melon, red/green apple, white wine, peppercorn, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, toasted oak, wheat, cracker, white bread, light funk/vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/spicy/light acidic yeast, fruit, spices, earthy hops, and moderate pale malt/grain flavors; with a great malt, bitter, spicy, and tartness balance; with zero puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitter/spiciness. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately grainy/sticky/tannic, fairly crisp, and lightly acidic balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 6.4%. Overall this is an awesome wild saison. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/spicy/light acidic yeast, fruit, spices, earthy hops, and moderate pale malt/grain flavors; very smooth, crisp, and easy to drink; with the modestly bitter/spicy/tannic/drying finish. Classic JP house funk, great fruit/spice/noble hop balance, oak presence, and solid pale malt backbone. They used Teff Seeds and Couscous, but it still tasted like most normal grains on profile. A really enjoyable offering, and spot on style example as expected.
