bottle courtesy of Bob @ St Somewhere pours hazy golden, fizzy white head aroma distinct St Somewhere, Belgian champagne yeast, notes of wild berries; palmetto, hibiscus adds a nice floral dimension that is subtle and not overpowering. flavor, yeasty, notes of funk and lots of tartness coming out of this one meshed up with some dark sugar and a fresh floral palate. I realized that St Somewhere’s beers just get better with age, this one will only get better with time, and I will revisit the rating in the near future.

bottle, pours a hazy light yellow with a tall frothy white head, nice lacing. Very lively. Aroma is grassy, some floral hop notes....smells like a tripel. Solid pale malts mix with peppery hop and alcohol. Nice lingering spicy bitter finish with a nice alcohol burn. Solid saison.

(Cask at Chelsea Cask Festival) Yellow and cloudy. Hardly any head. Sour and citric aroma. Medium bodied palate with little carbonation. Fruitiness, black pepper, coriander, light bitterness, citricness and sourness in taste. Sour and fruity aftertaste. This beer contains all the components for a good sour ale but the mixture doesn’t work and I don’t know why.

22 ounce handbottle ??? from Bierkraft in NYC by way of goryskewych. Thanks George! Pours a dark hazy copper color with a medium head. Fair head retention and lacing. Tart, fruity aroma with notes of peach, plum, berries, apple, banana, spicy herbal and floral notes. Earthy with toffee malts in the finish and a bit of alcohol warmth. Taste is full of dry, tart berry notes. Almost cassis like, though I assume that is the palmetto. Also notes of apple, peach and herbal/floral notes. Dry and tart throughout. Slight alcohol warmth. Smooth, med-full bodied. Very nice beer.

Cloudy pale blond color; high carbonation, but the head has very little retention. The aroma is very peculiar; it mixes flowers, lemon, herbs; even some cobwebs; very light hops. The body is light, the mouthfeel is dry; the flavor is light, it reminds some dry honey, with a soapy flowery accent, some lemon and spices. Very original and pleasant.

Location: Cask at Rattle 'N' Hum, 9/13/09
Part of the Gotham Cask Festival
Aroma: Some sour grapes, fruit, yeast, spice, wood, earth, citrus, quite a complex nose
Appearance: Nice reddish-brown color, a bit of clarity to it,
Flavor: A nice mix of flavors, similar to the nose, a bit of alcohol taste as well
Palate: Nice body, but quite a bit (maybe too much) alcohol burn
Overall Impression: First thing I have tried from Saint Somewhere, and this one will have me going back for more. I thought this beer was really nice and I hope to get a chance at more beers from these guys in the near future. This beer turned out to be quite nice, and I would imagine that the cask format really helped elevate the wonderful nose to the point it reached.
