Ah yes, our saison. This Belgian style beer is brewed with pilsner malt, Belgian saison yeast, and European and American hops. Notes of lemon, banana, and white pepper will dance on your nose and palate. The pepper, banana and ester aromas come from the Belgian yeast that’s used, with the late hop addition of Saaz and Cascade providing some extra spice and flavour.

Can from the lcbo. Hazy orange pour, large white head. Aroma is grassy, some nice wheat, and light citrus. A very approachable saison for a beginner. Light peppery notes, light, low bitter finish, some light citrus and nice hops and cereals.

Pours a light golden colour with lots of tiny bubble carbonation being active. The big frothy head lasts quite a while and leaves thick foamy lace. Aromas are a nice balance of sweet yeast and citrus notes, mainly oranges. The taste shows the same balance plus the added hops in the finish. This give a nice dry touch. Some good bitterness lingers. All well-balanced again. This one seems to grow on me as I sip it.

Can from the LCBO. Hazy gold with a small lingering white head. Nose has grass, pepper, light cloves, banana, lemon peel and some yeast. Flavour has a light cereal sweetness with light grassy bitterness and some spice. Mouth is a touch thin with prickly carbonation and a dry finish. Just OK. 7/3/7/3/13
