On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a fairly clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out rustic farmhouse notes and lots of yeast, with fairly high residual candied sugar. Flavour is very authentic, like a typical North American pseudo-saison, with earthy yeasty notes and medium residual sugar. Very little complexity and not overly clean. Meh. --- Beer merged from original tick of High Side Saison on 14 Jul 2020 at 05:37 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7. Original review text: On tap at Fernie, pours a clear orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out a nice saison character, gentle esters, and some earthiness. Flavour has some good clarity, with gentle esters, decent expression of the saison yeast, and a touch of candi sugar. Not too sweet. The saison yeast is used pretty well for a BC, let alone North American brewery. Solid stuff.
