Mashed with local barley and spelt from Deer Creek Malthouse, hopped with an exuberant amount of Hersbrucker, fermented with our foraged yeast, and conditioned in the can for extra character and maximum tiny bubbles. Our 2021 foraged yeast reminds us of some of the most classic european examples of saison, with a lovely balance between bright fruit and classic saison spiciness. Lemon curd, layers of herbs and nuance leading to a dry and refreshing finish. Always believe!

Canned December 2021, drunk 9/28/22. Insanely carbonated, deep bronze, hint of haze and an enormous, rocky, off-white head. And if the appearance is reminiscent of some Duponts, so goes the nose. White and black pepper, tastefully-expressed, alongside honey and white bread. Plastery, mineral-rich yeast with lemon and herbs from the hops. All restrained and balanced with no alcohol, flaw or any unwanted esters/phenols. Heavily citrusy, which is interesting since it's not so citrusy in the nose. Not intensely or acidically-so, however, with soft, supple maltiness and good attenuation. Herbs, pepper, honey and white bread with an interesting white pepper-like spiciness lingering alongside gently bitter, herbal hops. The yeast character and, perhaps more importantly, carbonation/texture seemed to have come out much better here than Only Two Mantras.

Pours clear gold into a tulip. Bright white head with excellent retention. Lemon and funky heather aromas. Crisp with sweet meadow and heather upfront turning slightly to lemon tart before the medium length band aid finish.

Can from source: pours golden with enormous head. Aroma is floral, bubblegum, herbal, light fruitiness. Sort of a classic saison taste without any if the funk. Taste is spicy, lightly bitter, kind of sweet, refreshing.

Can at the DC post-Thanksgiving 2021 gathering. Poured a nice orange color with a small, very slightly off-white head. Aroma was nice peppery notes pleasant juice. Very enjoyable Saison.

16oz can. Unfiltered orange-tan body. Steady, thin head. Leagues more drinkable than most Saison made anywhere. Has a nice malt edge, but also some mild sour underneath. Great mouthfeel, great balance. Solid beer.
