Anchor Saison is a traditional Belgian-style saison with a California twist. The distinctiveness of roasted Belgian wheat malt is enhanced by the peppery, clove-like flavors of a locally cultured saison-style yeast. And, for this release, we chose three California ingredients—lemongrass, lemon peel, and ginger—whose synergy adds a tangy crispness and herbal spiciness to this sharply refreshing, uniquely Californian saison.

slightly opalescent amber colour, large, creamy and long lasting yellowish head; aroma of overripe peach, orange zest oils, grains,floral and ginger bread notes; taste of honey, orange zest bitterness, peach (which is riped on a rainy summer - less sugary, rather watery, slightly bittery) and bread; intensive spiciness of ginger in the aftertaste; good saison

Narancsba hajló félbarna szín, Közepes, tömör, hosszú hab. Gabonás alapon déligyümölcsös illatok. Vaskos malátás alapíz, kissé fanyar barack, citrushéj és gyömbéres aromákkal. Hosszú lecsengésű, közepesen testes, erősen szénsavas, enyhén keserű. Érdekes ízvilág, de nekem egy kicsit kilógott a harmóniából a gyömbér.

On tap @ BrewDog, Soho. This one has quite deeper cloudy looking orange almost copper colored body. On the top there's a n ice medium sized off-white head, lots of complementary lacework down the sides of the glass. It smells like a saison for sure. Yeasty, some banana, it's a little candy sweet almost. almost white candied sugar and a little apple. I kinda like it, though it's nothing out of the ordinary really. Tastes quite nice also. It's a relatively earthy saison this. Quite up-yeasted - in a good way with canned pear, some more unripe apple. Quite fruity, yeah and somewhat tasty as well. That's a nice old combo. 20.10.2016

355ml bottle. Slightly milky, orangey golden colour with small, frothy, half-way lasting, off-white head. Floral, fruity and minimally spicy aroma, hints of plum, lavender, ginger, clove, a touch of spruce. Taste is moderately sweet caramel malty, slightly spicy, minimally soapy floral, hints of ginger and clove, a touch of liquorice. A bit weird - flavours seem to be more artificially spiced than yeast obtained.
