Saison from Yorocco Beer
10 years ago
8.3/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 10 Overall 8
New 2016 4% abv bottle shared. Thanks Davido! Citrus-forward nose with crackery malts and a nice Belgian yeast character in the background. Nice proper saison carbonation, more oranges on the palate and bone dry on the finish. Awesome stuff. More low abv saisons please, brewer’s who are reading! --- Beer merged from original tick of Saison on 03 May 2016 at 14:36 - Score: 8. Original review text: Light citrus and yeasty nose....Crackery Malta. Dry finish. Fantastic!

Lots of aniseed, chocolate and dark fruit. Nice dry palate, with lots of funk and anise, a touch sour. Spicy aniseed. A bit unbalanced. Not my favorite style (actually I don’t really like dark saison a that much),

Zesty Saison from Yorocco Beer
10 years ago
8.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 10 Overall 9
Tap at Beach Muffin. Citrus-forward nose with lots of zesty amanatsu and bright mikan notes alongside a wonderful saison yeast aromas. Juicy and pulpy citrus on the palate. Great carbonation, fruity and yet perfectly dry. Well-balanced for the low abv. Nice zesty bitterness on the finish and manages to avoid the pithy astringency that plague many beers with citrus. Very refreshing and quaffable. 4.7 abv?!?!? Still in disbelief for the amount of body and character. --- Beer merged from original tick of Zesty Saison on 24 Apr 2016 at 17:31 - Score: 8. Original review text: Tons of citrus on the nose:amanatsu and orange. Juicy but dry on the palate. So good.

Tap at Beach Muffin. Beautiful chocolate colored brown with a finger of beige foam that lingers throughout. Big grassy, hash-forward nose that just gets more and more dank as it warms. Espresso notes alongside a light yeast character in the background. Cookie malts with a tad of honey as it warms. Some chocolate chip cookie dough sweetness and brownie fudge after about 20 minutes. Nice dry cacao finish with more weed. Very solid and unique take on a dark saison. --- Beer merged from original tick of Ace of Space on 24 Apr 2016 at 17:37 - Score: 8. Original review text: Dank nose that is endless. Light fruit, weed and chocolate on the palate. Chocolate chip cookie dough. Sweet, but dry finish. So good!

8.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 9 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 9
Tap at Beach Muffin. Cloudy brown with a latte colored head that lasts throughout. Big funky nose with zesty kinkan pulp and some light brett notes. Some milk chocolate as it warms. Average carbonation on the palate. Amazingly light for the abv. Zesty tartness and funky brett on the finish. Just wow. --- Beer merged from original tick of Kinkan Porter Brett on 24 Apr 2016 at 15:38 - Score: 8. Original review text: Jesus Christ. Funky, tart zesty with a touch of chocolate. Oh my.

Saison from Yorocco Beer
10 years ago
7.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Yorocco Saison 4% Bottle hand delivered by my buddy Davido. A lovely orange-copper color with a fizzy white head of foam that leaves some filmy lacing behind. The aroma is very nice giving notes of dusty wheat, white pepper, pears and fruits.  It’s got a med-full body and a round carbonation that starts off round but ends with a prickliness to it. The flavor is more rustic than the aroma but still delivers a good balance between the malts and a fruity earthy yeast funkiness. A really nice take on a lower ABV saison.

Cultivator from Yorocco Beer

7.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Hazy golden color. Frothy white head, very funky yeast driven nose with some modest hoppiness. Mouth is dry but over attenuated, hoppy with lots of funk. Long lingering yeasty finish with moderate bitterness. Good but not Orval level and still could be fine tuned

8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
Tap. Bright cloudy gold with a low, fine head. Yeasty nose, bread and biscuit, lots of black pepper. Lemony, peppery flavor, light to medium phenols, biscuits. Tingly and soft carbonation which works very well with the peppery spiciness and bitterness to give a great tingly finish.
