Inspired by crisp white wines, Saison Blanc features New Zealand hops, golden raisins and white pepper for a decidedly bright, spicy, and robust low ABV beer. Finished with Brettanomyces at packaging, this beer will evolve for many more years to come.

2013 vintage; drank 4/30/14 @ the Yarchives.
Semi-opaque dandelion color.
HUGE bright white head; frothy lace.
Fresh green grape nose, with hints of leather & black pepper.
Medium mouthfeel, with a carbonation bite.
Banana, orange citrus & champagne flavors. A delicious, unique saison, one of the best I've had.

Pours a honey yellow - just a hint of orange. The thinnest head lingers.
Floral, citrus, both subdued. Smell is subtle.
Spice, earthy notes, orange peel. Taste is subtle.
A unique dryness reminiscent of wine or a dry champagne. Spritsy mouthfeel.
Decent.
