Tap at pFriem, Hood River, 24/05/13. Hazed pale yellow with a thin white head. Nose is tarte lemon, grass, herbal notes, bitter orange, spice, sweet notes. Taste comprises lemon rind, sugars, touch of booze, bitter orange, pinch of spice, grass, earthy, farmyard. Full in body with fine carbonation, a little on the cloying side. Ok stuff, the booze is well integrated for 9% but leaves a slightly warming finish - not what I want from a saison. Drinkable but saison US’d up in the ABV stake - too strong and not delivering the crisp finish the style craves.
