2015 Bottle from Whole Foods River St, drunk 6/14/15
Quite carbonated leading to a plentiful, foamy white head that slowly recedes to cover. Body is a deep gold with light amber tints, mostly clear, leaving the sediment in the bottom.
Light cookies, dry tangerines, hints of acidity and moderately fruity esters all do a passable job of identifying this as a saison, though it’s far less hoppy than Dupont, far less interestingly malty or musty than Blaugies and without any of the funk of Fantome. That’s ok. At least it’s not Americanized, I guess, nor is there any alcohol or flaw to it.
For all the carbonation, the mouthfeel is a bit loose despite the malt being quite chewy and probably a bit underattenuated. Not that it’s a sugar bomb or anything, rather, think along the lines of Dupont Foret and (minus the better presented yeast flavors) you’re not too far off. Bread dough, light toffee and tons of honeyed pils malt with spicy/floral saaz notes adding only light bitterness but ample flavor. Simple, as intended, and drinkable. The loose/overly watery texture lessened my enjoyment considerably.
Draught at Deep Ellum, 7/10/15
Confirmed my suspicions that it wasn’t an off-bottle. This is just too malty, sticky, chewy and bready. If this was more dry and crisp and allowed the saaz more expression, it’d be much, much better. As is, it’s almost a chore to drink this stuff....
