A mixed-grain table saison base, fermented and aged with a house mixed culture in gin barrels from our pals at Odd Society Spirits. A small dryhop of Riwaka Amplifire Hop Oil rounds out the botanical profile.

Some people seem to misunderstand the point that table beers should be lower ABV. But this is lovely. Gin is the best barrel for saison, methinks, and this is grand. Subtle botanicals and earthy malts. Gentle fruity funk hops. My 2nd Canadian beer today.

330 ml bottle. Pours a pale dull gold with some odd particles. Aromas of floral gin, lemon zest, potpourri, white pepper and sharp thin wheaty malts. Flavors of lemons, more floral gin and dry crackery malts. Quite nice.

330mL bottle. Pours clear blonde with a white head. Lots of spicy saison yeast and gin botanicals on the nose. Flavour has a really nice balance of botanicals and saison yeast, fairly dry and floral throughout; nice degree of complexity. High carbonation. Very nicely made beer.

330mL bottle, pours a clear pale golden with a medium white head. Nose is very fragrant, bringing out lots of floral gin, botanicals, and a great saison yeast expression. Flavour is complex, with a very nice spicy yeast character, gin barrels, and floral notes. Fairly gentle flavour profile, finishing slightly above average in carbonation. Well-made.
