Bottled 8/9/15, drunk 12/21/16.
Pours a brassy-gold with light copper and a medium-sized white head with moderate retention.
A fair amount of pepper phenols are notable, alongside yellow apples, nectarines and a bit of caramel and traces of wheat. It’s got the makings of a good saison, and there’s no big sour or tart notes to throw it off, but there just isn’t quite enough yeast expression and the beer tapers off in to a weak, caramel-laden finish.
Malty again in flavor with a light carbonation and reasonably soft texture. Vaguely grassy, fruity and sweet. Passable, but nothing particularly elegant or expressive going on here as far as good saisons are concerned.

Sample glass at Prohibition Pig.
The appearance was a light hazy, rich amber color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a nice pace. Moderate speckled lacing.
The aroma had a ton of sweet fruity orange, strawberries, red grapefruit and a balancing caramel character from the malt. Some white pepper with an ample amount of breadiness. Ample earthiness.
The flavor leans semi-sweet with the malts with some bubblegum malts roaming in. Some cherries and caramel malts assist in the maltiness. Subtle dry malty aftertaste with a smooth crisp fruity finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent sessionabiltiy about it.
Overall, good saison for the most part. Or weird earthy amber. Is this a blend of an amber to a saison? Possibly. Me, I could still have it again.
