A pale-gold hued ale, fermented with a Belgian yeast strain, resulting in a beer that has notes of lemon citrus from the hops, and black pepper spice from the yeast, with a dry “tingly” finish.

On tap at Haand Festival -14. A lighlty hazy golden beer with a small, white head. The aroma is piney and grassy, lighlty yeast-spiced and peppery. The pale malts are almost undetectable. It’s full-bodied and dryish on the palate, with a nice carbonation level and bitterness. Peppery flavor with pine cones and grass. Bitter, fruity finish. Overall, a tasteful and quenching beer I could easily have a few of. And it’s not as sweet as many American saisons are, that’s good. 140523

Draught @ Haand Ølfestival 2014
Pours clear golden with a off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt, yeast, citrus and hint of pepper. Taste is medium sweet and light bitter with a long yeasty, pepper, citrus and slightly dry finish. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

Burk från Mikkeller and Friends. Gyllrngul, lätt disig, lågt snabbt försvinnande skum. Lite sötunken doft som inte är så trevlig, men som blir bättre när ölet luftat sig och honungsdoften gifter sig bättre med saisonjästen. Lite krämig/skummig munkänsla, spretig smakbild, söta honungssmaker, lite alkohol, lätt pepprig, gräsig beska, väldigt lätt kropp, men iaf lite saison vibbar. Nja. Surly har fortfarnde långt kvar innan jag är övertygad.

Nice light session saison with light Belgian floral yeast and light hay, bubblegum. Average for style. Carbonation a little fizzy for style and kills the finish, which has some sweetness. Tap takeover at Churchkey.

Draught at Mikkeller & Friends. Clear orange liquid with a medium off-white head. Aroma of citrus, bread, toast, banana and light fruit. Taste is dry and light bitter with notes of citrus and clove. Medium bodied with medium carbonation. Nice.

Draught @ Mikkeller & Friends. Aroma feels fresh with grainy notes and peaches. Flavour has peaches, grainy notes, some grass and fruity hops. Refreshing and easy-going. This has some lager features.

Can thanks to me (get your facts right Josh!) at my 5K tasting. It pours hazy pale gold with a small white head. The nose is earth, toasty, orange, marmalade, muffin and light spice. The taste is crisp bitterness, brioche, orange, mandarin, spice, lemon poppy seed muffin and faint tartness with a dry finish. Medium body, fine carbonation and foamy mouth-feel. Decent drop, but far from Surly’s best.

Enjoyed from can at Township in Chicago, IL prior to seeing some friends of mine playing a show. Appearance is a hazy golden yellow with a moderate, fizzy white head. Aroma of lemon, peach, light yeast and hops. Taste is nice, lots of yeast notes, definite light fruity profile, pretty good stuff.

Keg@CBC2013 Clear yellow color, small white head. Spicey (white pepper) aroma. Medium-bodied. Freshing, light fruity Saisony flavor. Maybe better with more yeast, now seems to be quite filtered. Summer drink.
