Was going to enter this as a spice/herb, but the peppery is quite mild, so the saison character is still dominant - Hazy gold pour - nose is fairly floral, herbal and lightly peppery - chiles are present, but rather subdued, adding some earthiness and only s slight spice that compliments the notes from the yeast quite well - soft and full in the mouth - chile presence is very subdued and quite well integrated - a bit of pepper flavor that works with the soft floral notes of the base beer and adds a touch of sweetness as well - only s touch of heat on the tail end works really well with the spicy notes of the yeast - quite good and a hell of a lot better than expected, despite a bit too much sweetness on the tail end.
