The Princess wears girlpants. Belgian beers are great. Hops are fantastic. We here at the Sawdust City Brewing Co., know that these are not only obvious statements but also universal truths. We also know that it's easy to take things for granted. So every once and a while it's good to remind ourselves just how important they are. That's why we brewed the Princess Wears Girlpants; A hoppy Muskokan Saison. Loaded with mounds of Ella, Galaxy and Amarillo hops. This aromatic ale is as easy drinking as it is huge, weighing in at 9%, it's the perfect sharing beer. So grab a can, a few glasses and your best friends. Then enjoy this beer and remind yourself how lucky you are.

Canned 473ml. -Courtesy of franski, shared with him and several others. Clear yellow/golden coloured, minimal white head, mild citrusy nose. Moderate malty, citrusy hoppy, grassy and notes of lime but unfortunately ruined by pretty sharp alcohol presence. Balanced bitterness but unbalanced alcohol here. Pitty. 9.0%ABV

Can - Citrus peel and wheat. Cloudy gold with a rich white head. A bit harsh and boozy with some bitte citrus peel. Seems a bit out of balance.

650mL bottle, sent from wilco (thanks a lot, Mike), pours a cloudy golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings juicy citrus and piney hops, some residual sugars, and a crackery malt backbone. Flavour is identical, with a nice crackery malt backing, paving way for the dry piney and citrus hop forward quality. Nice and dry, with just enough juicy sweetness. Very nice stuff.

Cask at the Ottawa Beerfest. Primed with cream soda. A glowing slightly milky pour with a wonderful hoppy and cream soda aroma. Full bodied and smooth. The taste is bitter pine with Belgian hints, cream soda and a solid malt backbone.

After missing this year’s National Capital Craft Beer Festival, had to had this one at home, as last year, had a blast with brewmaster Sam at the fest. Pours a hazy light golden colour with a nice white head that is frothy, but gets creamy with long retention and lots of lacing. Fresh grass nose with hints of pine and citrus. Also, Belgian Ale yeast, blonde ale grain and some fruity notes. The taste is nicely balanced between the hoppiness, the blonde grain and the Belgian Ale yeast. A very nice mix between and Belgian Strong Ale and an IIPA. Bomber from the LCBO 9% ABV, written on label.

Bottle from the LCBO. Pours a hazy very pale gold with a small white head that quickly fades to a film. Nose has lots of floral hops with mild citrus notes. A good dose of bready yeast but also an underlying bit of cat pee. A light sweet start with some moderate bitter citrus and pine in the middle that gets overpowered by a very disturbing metallic skunkiness. I’m hoping that this is an off bottle. I expect to revisit this at some point as what I’m drinking now doesn’t correspond to the other reviews. Mouth is medium and very chewy. Not going to finish this one...

On tap at The Only. Odd to be called a Imperial/Double IPA you would think it would be a big hoppy wallop, but not this beer. Pours a cloudy golden with a white head. Smells of citrus, orange and wheat. Taste of hops bitterness, citrus, slight apricots and vanilla. Bitterness lingers on the palate a bit, but overall very drinkable.

(Draught at Bryden’s, Toronto ON, June 24th 2013) Pours a clear gold with a thin head of white froth, some lace. Aroma has caramel/toffee malt, floral hops with some faint tropical fruit and herbs, light yeast. On the palate, sweet caramel malt, light Belgian bready/fruity yeast character, some NZ-type grassy/fruity hop character to start. Yeast builds through the palate but hops are fairly restrained, and while it dries somewhat at the finish that is mostly from alcohol. Body is medium-full and oily, carbonation fairly soft and smooth, alcohol pronounced. This came in a full-size glass and for once I’d rather wished it was smaller, boozy... An interesting beer, not really a traditional DIPA, kind of stranded between styles. Thought a bit more aggressive hopping was needed.

A golden ale with a thin white head. A nice fruity malt with light citrus notes, grassy hops, light coriander. In mouth, a sweet belgian ale with nice hopping, grassy and very nice citrus pulp. Well made.
