You know the deal with the name ‘Modern Times’? It was an experimental utopian community that lived a brief, brilliantly crazy life in the mid-19th Century. Totally by chance, our brewery is located in the San Diego neighborhood of Point Loma, which was founded as a Theosophical utopian community called “Lomaland” in 1900. So that’s a thing. This beer tastes like friendly, sophisticated sunshine. It’s a Belgian-style farmhouse ale.

Can. Nice, light, grainy, little bit of fruity sweetness, cherry maybe. Taste is quite dry and refreshing. Something solvent like in there, but that's not necessarily a bad thing right now. More fruity further down. fruit drops, bit tropical, but grainy dryness keeps it in check. Little bit of creaminess too. Nice.

(Draught at BrewDog Kungsholmen, Stockholm, 3 Dec 2018) Golden colour, slightly hazy, with frothy white head. Fruity, spicy nose with notes of citrus, hay, bread and spicy yeast. Malty, spicy taste with hay, herbs, citrus, spicy yeast and a mild spicy bitterness. Medium body, dry. Well made and balanced saison. Nice one.

On tap at King's Row. Pours a hazy yellow color, with a small, white head. The aroma is whole grains, lemon peel, black pepper, honeysuckle, and pine. Sweet and mildly bitter. Light to medium body, with a sharp, acidic, and sticky palate. This is a solid and simple saison.

Canned 3 months ago, many thanks Daniel! Rather clear golden color with white head. Aroma is dough, peppery yeasts, grassy, estery, something unusual for a Saison (probably the corn?). Taste is flowery, dough, citrus, grassy, white sugar, surprisingly sweet (also due to the corn?), bubblegum. Oily mouthfeel with foamy carbonation. A decent, rather classic Saison that perhaps lacks a bit of body and is a touch too sweet - it seems that it definitely has Belgian flavours, but not the ones that make up a great Saison; too much bubblegum and sugar for that.
