Although our Hobneelch’n Hoppy Saison gets its name from the Boontling word for “dancing,” it certainly swings to the beat of a different drum. Unlike classic saisons, we’ve forgone additions of coriander and spices in favor of a more complex and layered flavor profile using Bravo, Citra, Centennial, and Amarillo hops. Brewed with oats, wheat, and pale two-row malts and fermented with traditional saison yeast, this unique twist on a farmhouse ale boasts hoppy aromas and tart, funky citrus flavors leading to a dry finish.

Poured from a bomber into a tulip glass. Slightly cloudy yellow with a great head and lacing. Fragrant lemon smell and bright taste. More hoppy than spicy but a very pleasant beer!

Recommended to me as a palate cleanser.
Nice hop/ level of dryness and with a mild, peppery bite. Tartness throughout, and it doesn’t have the antique furniture aspect that most saisons I’ve tried seem to have.
Aftertaste is dry, with more black pepper.
Still a nice value at $3.99 pet bomber.

Not a ton of saison yeast flavors but the hop aromas and flavor are delish!
