Any true collaboration is a celebration of the experience undertaken by kindred spirits, and such is the case with “Ichi-go Ichi-e”. Loosely translated as a moment in life that can not be repeated, Ichi-go Ichi-e came together when we gathered with our good friends from @smogcitybeer to taste from barrels, share ideas, and ultimately arrive at a blend of barrel-aged saisons that lives uniquely in this moment. After blending was complete, we infused the beer with a slight amount of cranberry orange and lemon myrtle teas for subtle herbaceous and citrus notes. We hope you enjoy each and every sip of Ichi-go Ichi-e, and toast to life’s unrepeatable moments.

8.1/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
Poured from a 750 ml bottle. Aroma is somewhat fruity with nice citrus notes of orange and lemon with lighter notes of green grapes, stone fruit and cranberries. Light herbal phenolic note. Hints of grain and oak. Light alcohol notes. Pours a fairly clear, brilliant gold color with pinkish orange hues and a medium sized, fairly thick, fluffy, white head that recedes quickly to a small film that lingers on the edges for a bit. Flavor is slightly sweet with a faint acidity and light grain notes. Moderate bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderately fruity with light lemon, orange, cranberry, green grape and stone fruit notes - basically the tea notes with the SARA funk. Hints of herbal phenolic notes and oak. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a pretty solid saison from SARA. Nice standard SARA funk with light barrel character and some fruit,y herbal notes from the teas.
