Pours a nice light orange, yellow at the edges. A sunny, glowy shade of beer. Big puffy white head. Lots of lacing. A nice sheet of bubbles sticks around for quite some time. The aroma leads with sweet, fresh grain. It’s followed up by a solid mix of saison flavors. Lemons, earth, grassy hops, light pepper, a nice mineral note, dusty barnyard and some mild funk. The taste is dry with lots more good saison flavor. It starts out with that fresh grain flavor. Then pepper, earth and some light stone fruit come in. It dries out in the finish, and the hops kick in with some grass and herbal flavors. Mouthfeel is light and easy on the palate. Nice beer. It’s a very solid saison, true to Dupont’s formula though no clone. I’d definitely be interested in trying more from Mystic.

Draft at Prohibtiion Pig Hazy orange. Looks simple Slight tart and orange nose Simple but clean. Nice balanceX dry finish.

Draft @ Prohibition Pig. Nose is cracker malt and good amount of yeast. Taste is grain, fruity yeast, light muted grassy hops, slight sweetness. Overall, given the ABV this has a ton of flavor. The palate is refreshing and very light. If the price is right, you really can drink a real large amount, if you drinking just because you desire to. Great beer to have with lunch.

Pours gold into a tulip. Bright white head with little retention recedes leaving spot lacing. Grass, hay and bread aromas. Crisp with sweet hay and pepper upfront turning to a bitter earthy finish.

Draft @ Sunset Grill. Tulip shows a completely cloudy gold. Flavor was really yeast driven with a good amount of fruit notes, a little spice and citrus. They dry hop this beer and you do get vibrant hops in the aroma but the flavor is alive with grassy and fruity hop flavors. Very dry bitter finish. I really enjoyed the hop profile Mystic used in this saison. I could drink this all afternoon, very nicely done.

Pours deep gold into a tulip. Off-white head with good retention recedes leaving spider lacing to coat surface. Dusty caramel and tropical fruit aromas. Thin and harsh with sour melon, earthy biscuit and a lasting bitter yeast finish. Tastes higher in alcohol than it is...

Bouteille 375ml. De couleur ambrée foncée et voilée. Nez de levures fruitées légèrement acide et sûres (raisins verts, léger de prunes vertes et de pommes vertes, notes d’agrumes), moyennement terreuses aux notes épicées (poivre doux) et rustiques, moyen de grains de céréales sucrés, léger de houblon floral et herbeux avec des notes de pain et de caramel. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen ainsi qu’une texture aux petites notes crémeuses. Goût de levures fruitées aux notes acides et sûres (moyen d’agrumes, léger de raisins verts aux faibles notes vineuses, léger de prunes vertes), légèrement terreuses, rustiques et épicées (poivre doux) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un moyen goût de pain avec des notes de grains de céréales sucrées et de caramel doux puis en finale l’on retrouve une légère amertume asséchante de houblon herbeux aux notres florales. Post-goût moyen et un peu sec, composé d’un goût de levures fruitées (pelures de prunes vertes, léger zeste d’agrumes, traces de pelures de raisins verts) aux notes terreuses avec une légère amertume de houblon herbeux.

Pours deep mahogany into an English pint. Mocha head with little retention recedes to mottle surface. Sweet smoked maple bacon aromas. Soft with dark caramel and smoked bacon upfront turning thin in the lasting smoked gouda finish.

Black body with a light brown head. Just a thin blanket of bubbles but they look quite creamy and inviting. Unfortunately, the head dissipates rather quickly, and there’s little to no leftover bubbles or lacing. Aroma is rich with sweet milk chocolate. There’s a touch of coffee and roast. Some fruitiness, sort of an apricot-raisin note. Light licorice. The taste starts with some sweet caramel and milk chocolate, followed by dark chocolate, roast and coffee. Good dose of oat flavor. Some herbal hoppiness in the finish. Rich, full flavors. Creamy mouthfeel. Big and round for the relatively low abv. Nice use of oats. This is a very nice oatmeal stout. Easy to drink, creamy feel, big flavors. Good beer.

Bottle shared by Phatdog1, thanks Craig! Deep brown color with thin head in the English pint glass. Thin tan head. Flavors of roasted barley, burnt coffee, light chocolate in the finish. Sweet roasted sugar. Light oat presence giving the brew a medium body with average Co2. Dry roasted finish. Has an English malt feel to it. For a 5.4 ABV this has a lot of flavor. You can sure drink a lot of this in a session.
