A gaze sets upon the open field and is quickly numbed by an olfactory presence. Honey Saison
Behind its veil, the keeper is a resident among the flora and the orchestrator of the bee's laborious ballad. This fine forager's froth is born of Carolina-raised barley, wheat and honey and brewed with chamomile, hibiscus, rose, passionflower, heather, elderflower, lavender and touches of secret and lore. Brightly tart with a green tea, lemon, and cranberry flavor, the aromatics will warm the cockles and rejuvenate even the most worn and weary.

This is awful. Lavender, elderflower, rose petals make for a losing combination. Thanks for the attempt to try BR and NFB! Harry Kane at 50 England goals. 🏴 ⚽️

Sample on tap at the Crafty Fox. Hazy, ruby orange color, with a medium, white head. The aroma is strong straw and cloves, with some sweet bread, and mango. Sweet and grainy, with a light bitterness that gives good balance. Light to medium body, crisp, velvety, and clean. Seriously well made saison.

Can at home didn’t see all the ingredients until 3rd pour from can. Peachy not the prettiest pour. Nose is funky, florals, tea and fruity. Tastes of berry, tea, quite floral, some barnyard, honey, light spices. Medium bodied. Floral aftertaste.

Can shared by the Biervana crew, many thanks! Hazy orange-pinkish color with white head. Aroma is spicy yeasts, and lots of them, dough, flowery. Taste is spicy, dough, some sweetness, flowery again. Oily mouthfeel, high carbonation. Interesting, pleasant, and very nicely balanced!

Threes, Brooklyn tap; pours deep gold with a white head. Aroma is very flowery, honey, farmhouse. Taste is slightly sweet. Very flowery. This seems to be the point of the beer, and it does this well. Good.

Pour is a peach color with a large white head. Aroma is some yeast esters, lavender and a honey sweetness. Flavor is super herbal, I get the camomile at first, then comes other floral notes. Not as sweet as I thought it was going to be made with honey. This was actually quite dry. There are lots of esters left on the tongue after the swallow. Pretty solid saison with plenty of flower adjuncts that really contribute to the flavor.

Sample at the taproom. Hazy golden color with a medium foamy white head that burns away steadily to an outer ring. Strings of lacing. Floral and fruity aroma with yeast and malt notes. Medium body with flavors of floral yeast, fruit and doughy malt. The finish is hibiscus and yeast. Above average overall.
