Watching the Mind Watching the Body is a 7.8% ABV saison made with Michigan pears, Chaat Masala, and honey. The nose presents with aromas of honey poached pear, sweet brioche, crystallized ginger, and savory spice front and center. The spice character features soft notes of black pepper, cumin, allspice, and fennel. On the palate this beer drinks much like a skin-contact white wine, with deep fruit flavors of dried apricot, baked quince, and candied orange, overlaid with a delicate apple blossom-like floral character. Low bitterness and mild to moderate acidity balance a pleasant, mellow alcohol warmth. The body is medium-full and offers gentle, lightly sparkling carbonation.

Pours a hazy yellow. Small white head. Scent is fairly elegant. Honey finish. Citrus like fruityness. Light malts, bit (touch) of acetic acid. Mildly herbal. Balanced aroma (ginger, perhaps?) . Pear is to be found when searched for. Taste is full, heavy funk, juicy (pear) acidity. Malty, super elegant. Refines, amazingly balanced beer.
