Saison Ale Brewed with Lemon

“History doesn’t repeat itself but it often rhymes.” − Mark Twain

A lighter saison variety meant for sessionable drinking. This saison is full of citrus flavors that stem from the chosen hops and from the addition of lemon. A refreshing option to quench your thirst all day long.

Notes of fruity lemon and slight herbal spice.

L: It pours hazy straw under a 3" lacy white foam collar with good retention.

S: smells like lemon, spicy Belgian Saison yeasts, light bread crumb, fruit, faint funk, a hint of banana and light citrus.

T: key lime pie, mild to moderate hop bitterness, Belgian yeast fruit flavors, hop spice flavors. The hop bitterness is medium to medium high, the added lemon is medium as are the hop flavors.

F: medium light body, above average carbonation.

O: flavorful, interesting, well balanced and drinkable beer

Bought in a 12oz four pack. This year's Fruition is centered around a lemon profile, which is most pronounced in the smell and in the finish. Very drinkable at 5.2%, it would pair nicely with a variety of summer dishes. However, by itself it doesn't match some of it's better known peers, which is a slight letdown considering my affinity for Funkwerks' other creations.

Poured from a bottle into a tulip glass. Cloudy yellow color with a nice white fluffy head and good lacing. The smell is bright and lemony. The taste and feel are a bit of a disappointment but my standards for saisons are high. It is refreshing!

This one was literally in the cellar, and I didn't realize it was brewed over a year ago. The cool aging doesn't' seem to have done anything positive for it. This was hard to taste, first with the big foam up and then the abundant coarse carbonation and the thin, tart character.

Sharp, though some malt emerges in the lighter Hefeweizen aromatic style. Some nice hints of spice and something like orange peel. A hazy pale orange-tinged lemon color in the tulip with an attractive foam once it finally warms up a little and settles down. Some fruity aromas, like a whiff of pineapple.

Finally some apricot taste comes through. This is better than a flavored American-style wheat, at least, but I hate to think what I must have paid for this. From the 750 ml bottle purchased at Grapevine Wine & Liquors in Denver.
