Bought two 12 ounce cans from Beer Drop. What a creative brew ! Refreshing and thoughtful. Three points.

First, this saison is a part of a French Ex-Pat Series. Diebolt story is the founder's ancestors were from the French brewing region; which explains why they are one of the few micros to specialize in the biere de garde; a style that would be nearly dead were it not for North American micros. It's not clear to me which of Diebolt's five brews that I had are in that Series, but this is the first saison.

Second, creative ingredients. Jackfruit is huge, multi-flavored; probably like a fruit cup. Galangal is a ginger substitute in the southeast Asian kitchen and offers a penetrating spicing that, obviously, is not bitter and dries my mouth nicely. FYI, Cambodge Soir was the French speaking paper edited in Phnom Penh... circling back to this Ex-Pat Series.

Third, this was a gentle accompaniment to summer fare of ratatouille and salad. In remaking this recipe, I could see add a few more hops to tame the jackfruit's many flavors.

8/12/21 Had the second can. I edited the review, but I see no good reason to change the rating. This sort of creativity is hard to pull off in by a micro less than a decade old. I'm keeping count @ Untappd.
