Our Candlepower Saison is a small tribute to Dany Prignon of Brasserie Fantôme way of brewing. Each year’s version is a little different from those that came before. Candlepower 2023 is an exceptionally crisp, pale, and delicate quencher with an intoxicatingly complex herbal/spicy nose from sage, orange peel and coriander.

16 ounce can. Medium gold pour. Rocky white head is enduring. Estery aroma is reminiscent of Oil of Bergamot and lavender. Flavor is slightly funky. Notes of preserved lemon, bitter greens, camphor and pine needles. Rather dry and spicy. Tasty indeed.

16oz can pours a fairly clear gold with a two finger cap of white head. Lemon balm perfumes out, grist, soft herbs, some wheat, some bubblegum. Flavor is lemon and grist and wheat, flower petals and lemon balm and lavender. Finishes herbal and medium bodied with some candy sweetness. Pretty good, a bit overdone on the herbs perhaps.
