Summer Saison
Titletown Brewing Company

 

 

Called "Jackhammer Saison" so I'm not sure if this is the same beer.

Served in a pint glass at the brewpub.

Pours a clear honey color with a two finger cloudy white head with great retention and thick lacing. Aromas of fruity yeast, grass, vanilla and floral accents. Banana, pepper, flowers/Jasmine? with a sour aftertaste. Medium body and light carbonation. Interesting beer worth a try.

Pours a silty golden-orange topped with a stark white mist.
The nose leans sour, towards lemon and orange rinds, with trace herbs and more evident pangs of coriander and pepper.
Introduces itself as a witbier, full of crisp pils malt, lemony wheat squeals, orange rind and coriander. It turns, then, tarter, with green apple, muskmelon, lemon drops, and lime juice. Yeast adds crucial funk, contributing leather and horsehair and black pepper. Finishes with residual sours, yeasty exclamations, and a minor uptick of eucalyptus hopping.
Light bodied with perky carbonation. This is a drinker that pairs well with some of their seafood and middle eastern-inspired cuisine (I had it with the Moroccan Grouper...and, thumbs up all around).
It's outwardly very similar to a wit, but the yeast packs enough farmhouse nuance to deem it Saison worthy.
And in this ether between the two styles, it excels.

Nice fruity ose...also hints of leather...cloudy gold...fizzy little head...pears and tropical fruit flavors (mango/pineaple)...finishes with a musty, leathery touch...medium to light bodied...fizzy in the mouth....pretty tasty saison...not real familiar with this style but I feel comfortable recommending this...

Slightly hazed peach color. A slight cream soda colored head skims the surface. Aroma is fruity, yeasty and musty. Very nice. The essence of fruit is unveiled beautifully in the flavor profile of this beer. Pear...Bigtime. Apple Skin. Grapes. And a little canteloupe. Lovely. Yeast flavors accentuate nicely. Hops leave a slightly dry and bitter finish. There's a nice musty accent as well. Mouthfeel is nicely carbonated. Body is medium. A nice saison. Kudos to Titletown Brewery.
