A Botanical Saison w/ Heather, Lavender, Chamomile & Dandelion
7.2% ABV
-
The intro to our 10th Anniversary rewind - and perhaps one of our most formative brews - is a botanical saison dubbed “of Love & Regret”. The first batch was produced in the small town of Beerzel, Belgium in 2010.
Meant to evoke the delicate aromas of Spring, this beer was a tribute to the changing nature of the seasons, during what was a rather
transformative season in Brian’s own life. This was the first beer we crafted overseas - the experience of which would shape the model we would follow for years to come - eventually leading to the production of Stillwater beers & collaborations in over 30 countries.
Soft malts, herbaceous hops, & fragrant botanicals come together in an elegant ode to the bittersweet passage of time.

11.2 oz. bottle. Pours a dark gold with a large khaki head. The aroma is heavy citrus, cut grass, banana esters, and a little dough and funk. The flavor is sweet and a little tart up front, mellow bitterness and spiciness in the middle, and a mild bitter finish. The palate is light, crisp and effervescent. Overall, a very interesting beer, with lots of layers. Easy to drink, and yet complex.

Super herbal and spicy, for damn sure. The pour is fair, the beer coming out a decent gold, but lacking a solid Saison head. The herbs come through on the nose with great vigor, almost overwhelmingly so at first. The subtle wheat notes of a Saison are there, but lie underneath a pile of sweet-n-tangy-smelling herbs. The flavor is somewhat soapy, with a lot of lavender coming through in the middle and on the finish. The herbs eventually grow to define the brew, but I’m not sure how great of a feature this may be. Not bad, but very prickly and like a trip through the herb garden. But your belches will go well with Wheat Thins.
