On tap @ Christianssand Brygghus. A hazy orange body with a nice, dense white head. Aroma is fruity, yeast, light citric hops and spicy with a hint of malt and flowers. Flavor is quite light with some subtle complexity of spices, yeast, fruit and a moderate but pleasant bitterness. Medium body with a really nice aftertaste, spicy farmhouse complexity and a hint of pepper further down the throat. A nice sample of a Belgium style Saison.

On tap at the brewpub. Thanks a million for making me a celebration beer, I’m deeply honoured! I have to admit I’ve been very exited since I heard some rumours of this beer, a bit nervous too, not knowing what kind of beer it would be, or if it would be something I’d be pleased with at all. Finding out they made it a Pepper Saison made me super happy, and when I noticed all that lovely pink grapefruit, mmmmm. They all knew I love Saison, and they knew of my fascination for black pepper, but none of them knew of my love for pink grapefruit I think. Nice they went that way then.
Well, to the beer. It’s a lightly unclear one, golden-orange in color and topped by a nice-looking off-white head of finger-thick size. The aroma is on the citrusy side, with lots of pink grapefruit. A touch of grass, and a faint hint of black pepper. The pepper gets a bit more pronounced when the beer gets warmer, but it’s still very subtle. Some hints of yeast are present. It’s full-bodied and quite dry, with a pleasant level of carbonation. A moderate to low level of bitterness supports the citrusy flavor. Lots of pink grapefruit there too, as well as some yeasty notes, grassy hints and a light peppery touch. Could maybe do even better with a more generous pepper addition, but that might also make it less appealing. Towards the end there’s still lots of pink grapefruit, and a nice touch of yeast and bitterness, and in the swallow you can still feel the pepper is there. Drinking it without knowing, and not really tasting, just swallowing, the pepper will probably go down un-noticed, but I liked the subtlety. Certainly a beer made the way I’d do it myself for my celebration :-).
Thanks a lot to Christianssand Brygghus and my beery friends for making this happen. Love you all. 121004
