Description
Pretty Things Beer & Ale Project began on a shoestring budget in 2008. We exist to allow 20 year professional brewer Dann Paquette to make an honest living while giving his imagination free reign. We brew our beers in other people's breweries because we can't afford our own. We enjoy the up-at-dawn lifestyle and the freedom to brew beers of our own imagining. We brew all our beers ourselves: Dann brews and formulates, Martha mills in. We dream up our beers together, inspired by Europe, by history, and by BEER and all it can be. We are based in Somerville, but brew mostly in Westport, MA, hence the early mornings. Cheers!

A hazed amber saison with a thick receeding off white head, creamy and translucent. In aroma, pleasant herbaceous hops with light catnip, coriander, spices. In mouth, a creamy smooth saison with coriander, curacao, silky and well balanced, very old world indeed. Spot on. Bottled in May 2010.

Rich barley malt aroma for a saison and rubber cement. Clear amber, thin head. Tastes like it smells with the barley morphing into rubber cement. Kind of off.

Bottle shared by Kyle, thanks! Poured a cloudy light brown with a gray head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma had notes of sweet grain with some spice and a hint of hops. Flavor was sweeter with lots of bread, cereal and grain with a bit of nuttiness.
