Description
We focus our attention on brewing rustic, unfiltered, aromatic beers that are approachable and unique. We pull from our home brewing background to build beers that pay homage to tradition, but break new ground in American brewing techniques and flavors by blurring the line between beer and wine. We are brewers of big ideas in very small batches.

Poured from a 750 ml bottle. Aroma is full of that typical SARA funk with green grapes, lemon and apricot as well as a bit of a tropical fruit note. Lighter floral esters and a slight herbal phenolic note. Light grain and alcohol notes. Hints of oak. Pours a slightly hazy, golden-orange color with a medium sized, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers on the edges. Light lacing and faint legs. Flavor is slightly acidic with a medium light sweetness and light grain notes. Medium bitterness and light alcohol notes. Light oak notes. Lots of lemon, green grapes, tropical fruit and apricots. Lighter floral esters. Hints of earthy, herbal phenolics. A bit of salty, mineral note in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a really solid saison from SARA; this is probably my favorite club beer this year. A bit of a buttery, big packed chardonnay note to this beer, which is nice. SARA funk with a bit more floral and tropical fruit notes.

Poured from a 750 ml bottle. Aroma has moderate notes of tarragon and chamomile. Lighter notes of green grapes, stone fruit and lemon with hints of oak. Light grain and alcohol notes. Pours a hazy, golden-orange with a medium large, thick, pillowy white head that recedes quickly to a small film that lingers on the edges. Light lacing and small legs. Flavor is slightly acidic with a light sweetness and light grain notes. Medium bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderately strong chamomile notes with lighter tarragon that becomes more prevalent in the finish. Light lemon and stone fruit notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a decent saison. I don't particularly love chamomile and tarragon, but it's not terrible and is well balanced with the base saison.

Bottle 75 cl. Clear golden with a small, creamy off-white head. Slightly tart, funkiness paired with overripe fruit and Bamberg smoke. Medium body, tart fruitiness, with a smoky finish. Sour finish. Complex but the combination of sour and smoke was never a favorite of mine. 261223
