Poured into CCB snifter.
Pours over a finger of off white head. Fades down leaving some splattered lace. Color is a hazed dull golden yellow.
Aroma: Lots of spice notes. Pears, orange peel, lemon zest, pepper, Belgian yeast, coriander, and cloves.
Taste: Holy f-ing spices. Pears, orange peel, cloves, lemon zest, dry red apples, pepper, coriander. Just like the aroma, but more spices. A massive over spiced saison. Belgian yeast flavors show as well.
Mouthfeel: Dry and crisp with lots of carbonation showing. Medium bodied, but fairly large for a saison. Ends dry, but relatively clean.
Overall, a very unique saison. Very big. Overly spiced makes this beer not as drinkbale as a saison should be. Just too much. It does have a lot of flavor though.
