Dave's BrewFarm Saison Dandy. It's a dandy of a saison. I'll let you guess what the "Secret ingredient " might be.
Golden hued, lightly hazed, slim white head, drifts down quick. Looks right for the part, though.
Aroma: Slightly sweet meets slightly tart, with plenty of citrus notes, some floral, and I could swear a touch of honey. Can I smell the dandelion? Just a bit.
Taste: hits the palate with a pleasant hoppy buzz, and grassy notes galore. ( "Weedy" notes? Before giving away the game, and maybe you've already guessed but this saison is brewed with hand-picked dandelions, which is not an unheard of device in Belgian-style brewing.) Juicy malt, moderate bitterness, and just enough yeast flavor. Crisp, refreshing, and deceptive, as we're creeping into high ABV (7.5%). Another thing it is: smooth. Smooth and crisp, citrusy and, though I've said this before, just sweet enough for the bitter. Alcohol is rising, as I finish the first glass, and I can dig it.
Here's what Farmer Dave says: "Fermented with French Saison yeast, pale and caramel malts, Demerara can sugar, Perle and Glacier hops. Spiced with more than a quarter pound of fresh picked "estate-grown" Dandelions."
Mmmm, dandelion-y...
