We brew our Saison using a classic single infusion mash with Belgian Pilsner and Vienna malt, along with locally grown unmarked wheat and rolled oats from @ Thrall . It is spiced with grains of paradise prior to its warm, open fermentation using a traditional Saison yeast. The result is a beautifully citrus forward, zesty, dry & refreshing ale, perfect for a hot summer day!

From Beer Drop, code on bottom of the can makes no sense.

Pours a mostly clear pale gold with very good foam, retention and lacing.

Smell is orange zest, coriander, with cloves in the background.

Taste is orange zest, cloves, coriander, citrus, somewhat spicy from the grains of paradise.

Very good mouthfeel, I would drink this again.

Citrus and some hay. Golden pour with decent head. A little tang in the finish. Can.

Can without any date code. Aroma is rustic grain, pepper, yeast, and maybe a hint of citrus. Plenty of yeast phenols, bubblegum, banana. Also shows the pepper. About average.

Undated can drunk 5/20/23. Clear, blonde-maize-golden. Large, white head, moderate retention. Nose is pretty standard, somewhat ubiquitous, Americanized or crude. The grains of paradise are a bit aggressive, and there's bubble gum, clove and even a bit of banana. Biscuity malts, white bread, moderately sweet with more bubble gum and heavy fruit esters. Too much grains of paradise, which per usual, I don't think adds anything to saisons. They already have plenty of peppery phenols. Rather crude and uninteresting. Don't care for the yeast they used, or at least, the way they've fermented it.
