Description
Small Change Brewing Company is the husband-and-wife team of Mike Patterson and Emily Vides. It evolved out of a decade of home brewing, a few jobs at Boston-area breweries, and a love of all things beer and brewing. We don't make a lot of beer, and we don't have our own brewery, but by staying small and sharing space with other local brewers, we're able to focus on making the beer that we want to when we want to. It's our mission to bring you fresh, flavorful beer of the highest quality

Draught at Artifact's Station, 1/26/23. Moderately hazy, deep canteloupe. Small, white head to cover. Citrus and such with bready malts and a bit of vanilla character in the background. Very dry, clean, peach and apricot ester with white pepper and light citrus juice expressions on the edges. Tough to figure this one out. Sure is clean and there isn't any unwanted ester/phenol but it's not screaming saison either. I guess on the cusp of Belgian blonde and saison. I assume it must be a saison yeast if they're calling it one though. Wonder which.

Can at home. With weather cooling at night time to cycle in more dark brews. Pretty black pour and one finger beige head. Nose is light ash and chocolate. Tastes of char, bitter dark chocolate and faint coffee. All subdued. Smooth easy drinking.
