32oz grunt filled at the brewery for $6. This is a summer beer brewed for the Iron Man (or is it Ironman?) Triathalon held annually in CDA. Apparently the idea was to brew a saison that would be light enough to be appealing to exhausted triathletes seconds after crossing the finish line while remaining true to the style.
Poured into a St. Bernardus goblet, this was a semi-clear, golden color that is just a shade darker than straw. There was an inch or so of bubbly, bone-white foam.
The aroma actually reminded me of a crisply tart version of a Tripel - fruity scents like pears and green apples with some peppery yeast notes.
The crisp fruity aspects are what get noticed first, but they are quickly and expertly balanced with spicy Belgian yeast notes. More tart than sweet, but not to an imbalanced degree, and quite refreshing.
Fairly light bodied, with a mouthfeel that is both crisp in the way of a good pilsener and also has that almost effervescent mouthfeel that is so hard to do, or at least I assume so since I so rarely come across it in an American-brewed Belgian beer.
Selkirk Abbey has invented the light saison. Ridiculously drinkable beer, and none the worse for wear for being a summer beer drank in late October. If this were bottled it might well be the perfect Belgian take on the lawnmower beer.
