XLII Juniper Saison
Wicked Weed Brewing

A: Pours a hazy pale golden yellow in color with heavy amounts of fine active visible carbonation rising quickly from the bottom of the glass and some faint light yellow highlights. The beer has a half finger tall foamy white head that reduces to a thin film covering the entire surface of the beer with a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Slightly more than moderate amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate aromas of pale malts and spicy saison yeast with a light aroma of earthy hops and juniper berries/pine.

T: Upfront there is a moderate flavor of pale malts with a moderate flavor of spicy saison yeast. That is followed by light flavors of earthy + herbal hops and a light to moderate flavor of juniper berries/gin. Light amounts of bitterness in the finish which fades away pretty quickly.

M: Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Light to moderate amounts of dryness in the finish.

O: As someone that enjoys gin, I can definitely appreciate the flavors and aromas imparted in this beer by the addition of juniper berries. Refreshing and pretty easy to drink.
