Bottle: Poured a hazy light amber color ale with a medium size foamy head with OK retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of residual sugar notes with some Belgian style malt with light spices notes. Taste is somewhat cloying with some residual sugar and spices with some bready malt. Body is full with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. OK but lack attenuation and ends up too cloying which impaired drinkability.

Look: deep Gold with thin head that soon fades. Fairly carbonated.
Aroma: Black pepper, orange peel, light grassy malt, no hop character.
Taste: Light maltiness reminiscant of bread with loads of pepper and orange.
Mouthfeel: Deceptively light for 8.6% ABV, do not taste the alcohol but I don't thin thr high alcohol suits the style well.
Overall: A great saizon that's oly hold back is the high ABV. If the ABV was a bit more normal this would be a world classic.

Appearance - Pours a hazy honey colour with four fingers of foamy white head.
Smell - Belgian saison yeast, clove, spices, spicy hops, lemon, cracked pepper, grainy malts, orange peel.
Taste - Traditional saison flavours of yeast, spices, spicy hops, citrus, and malts. Well balanced and flavourful.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate-high carbonation. Finishes crisp with a lingering fruity ester and spicy flavour from the yeast.
Overall - For my first brew from Black Bridge Brewery, this saison delivers on all fronts. I find the high ABV is resulting in a slightly more boozy flavour, but a minor flaw in an overall refreshing and tasty beer.

750ml, white wax-capped bottle, a decidedly different presentation format than the cans we've seen so far from this Saskatchewan brewery.
This beer pours a hazy, medium golden yellow colour, with a veritable teeming tower of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat creamy bone-white head, which leaves a few chunky swaths of approaching storm cloud lace around the glass as it very slowly dissipates.
It smells of bready and biscuity pale and wheat malt, estery and almost farmhouse-esque Belgian yeast, mixed tabletop pepper mill output, a faint dry pome fruitiness, and very tame earthy and floral hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy wheat malt, sharp, and bordering on phenolic yeast, still hard to identify light fruity notes, blended rainbow peppercorn and clove spice, a bit of free-range brewing sugar, and more well understated earthy, leafy, and herbal hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly robust in its palate-taunting and enveloping frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and not un-smooth, if that's what you really care about here. It finishes more off-dry than I was initially expecting, as the malt persists alongside that weird sidecar sugary character, in the face of the docile lingering yeastiness.
Overall, a fairly well-made and engagingly strong (right, I haven't mentioned that yet) Prairie Saison, where the balance always seems to be shifting between too sweet and too acerbic, which one would assume balances out in the end, and it does, mostly. Mostly.
