Notes: Saison was born of Belgian farm workers, who would slake their thirst in the fields with a special lower strength Saison. The farmers would brew a beer with multiple grains, using whatever grains were available to them, and a special yeast that provided a peppery and spicy characteristic.

Pours hazy dark gold into a willi. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Banana bread aromas. Crisp with sweet banana bread and clove upfront turning to dry, sweet dried apricot in the medium length finish. Taste is similar to a wit or cloying, sweetish single.

Brighton draught, 10/2/24. Clear blonde-golden. Small, white head, steadily to cover. Sweet, honey-like malts with a bit of clove and strong white pepper. No banana or bubble gum, but not exactly an elegant Dupont or Blaugies-esque example. But it's clean. Clove galore, white pepper and a solid, very malty body for its size. For all the good Notch does, they can't seem to make a real Saison. Just a lot of clove and pepper here and not much to get excited about besides the rich maltiness.
