This was poured into a tulip. The appearance was a hazy golden color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than a minute. Barely any lacing was there at all. The smell started out with a light sweet to spicy blend of citrus and floral. Light sweet grassy and apple roll in underneath. The taste copies the smell nicely and has a decent sweet grassy to apple-like aftertaste. The finish is wet and somewhat refreshing. On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Carbonation runs fairly light with a crisp refreshing feel all around. Overall, what a nice saison, I’d have this again.

 

 

 

22oz bottle, one of a new pair of this Bend brewing concern's offerings to make it northward to Alberta suds emporia.

This beer pours a hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with four fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and rather fizzy bone-white head, which leaves a few chunky swaths of chemtrail lace around the glass as it slowly and lazily subsides.

It smells of semi-sweet, grainy and crackery pale malt, testy earthy yeast, banana chips, muddled citrus pith, white pepper dust, and leafy, grassy, and herbal hop bitters. The taste is bready, slightly doughy, and biscuity pale and wheat malt, underripe banana, lemon rind, a touch of red apple skin, subtly funky yeast, mixed peppercorn spice, and more leafy, grassy, and somewhat perfumed floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly active in its swirling effervescence, but amounts to only a small, tickling frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and not particularly smooth, as both the yeast and spice trudge about a little too much. It finishes off-dry, just, as the bottom seems to drop out of the graininess, and the yeasty, fruity, and spicy essences mill about, waiting to die.

Overall, not a bad version of the style, though the 'unique' yeast strain does not provide an exactly unique end brew. Nicely warming, however, with little attendant booze astringency, and easy enough to put back a whole bomber's worth, I would imagine. So leave me to it, already!

 

Hazy pale gold with two fingers of quick falling white head. Lace is some splotches .
Smell is pungent yeast biscuit malts lemon grassy hops.
Taste is similar to the smell with a bit of tang on the middle of the tongue. Slightly astringent.
Mouthfeel is medium with plenty of carbonation. Finish is slightly dry and puckering.
Overall a decent attempt of this style from a Northwest brewer.
I might buy another as I suspect this is a fairly old bottle. Also this is a 7.3% abv beer and the alcohol is well hidden so treat with respect. From a 22 ounce bottle.

 

 

Crisp and light. A cider-saison?

Good saison. Would have again. Sweet and crisp. Fruit flavors.

 

 

Delicious and close to a traditional saison. Rich color, yeasty nose. Alcohol is present at first then mellows. What a lovely beer from folks who don't usually dabble in this style.
