Our saison was brewed with a traditional saison malt bill to enhance the soft mouthfeel of this otherwise very dry beer. To give a little extra depth of flavor to this already complex beer we added delightfully fruity Mosaic hops and cracked peppercorn at the end of the boil. Combined with the lemony character from the French saison yeast, the result is a wonderful balance of tasty spice and fruit flavors.

Very cloudy yellow. almost no head. Good yeast presence with the peppery aroma, honey and clove. A little cinnamon and walnut. decent mouthfeel. finish leaves a lot of peppery notes. Leaves a lot to be desired.

Draft at the brewery. Cloudy gold color, lasting head. Aroma is grassy, citrus tones, strong floral notes. The yeast is decent character with a huge amount of citrus, grass and a nice lightly pepper from the yeast. The mouthfeel is spicy and has a nicely herbal balance. I really enjoyed this saison, nicely made.

Tap. Pours hazy golden, medium off white head, some lacing. Aroma is grassy, pepper, herbal. Flavor is light plus sweet, light bitter, quite herbal, lots of Belgian yeast and pepper. Full body, creamy mouthfeel. ABV is well hidden. Pretty solid beer.
