In the spirit of traditional Belgian farmhouse ales, Saison Blue is brewed mostly from malted barley but with sizable contributions from regional ingredients (traditionally wheat, spelt, or buckwheat). In our case, we happen to use blue corn and blue agave nectar. It is then lightly dry-hopped with American and European hops for a bright, herbal and floral finish. To us, it represents a link between old-world brewing traditions and new-world processes and ingredients. At the end of the day, this beer is bone dry, light bodied and quite refreshing, but features a spicy, complex flavor and aroma profile.

On tap at Dragoon, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out light rustic character and some funky blue cheese. Flavour brings out rustic saison yeast, a touch of funk and a hint of fruity esters. Ahead of the curve in terms of American saisons, with a solid yeast profile. Good stuff.

Growler fill at Whole Foods Chandler a few weeks ago (and consumed a few weeks ago too). It pours clear gold with a slight pale-ness supporting up a white head of foam. The aroma offers up saison like yeasty spices, apples, pears and a touch of pepperiness. The taste is somewhat similar with a mix of saison like yeasty spices and peach to apples to pear like sweet fruity esters. Beneath these notes is a faint pepperiness mixing with an earthy sort of herbal sort of tart grassiness. Cool stuff.
