Saisonette
OEC Brewing (Ordinem Ecentrici Coctores)

Pours a light, clear pale yellow with a lasting one finger head. Aroma is sharp, tart and full of sour lemon and grass. If I were imagine what sunlight smelled like, it would be this. Taste is quite tart; oak is definitely present. Mouthfeel is light. This is an acquired taste. It is not my cup of brew but it is very much within the Saison camp.

This one pours a slightly hazy golden yellow color, with a small foamy head, and a bit of lacing.

This smells like lemon candy, grassy funk, lemongrass, sourdough maltiness, and some wheat.

This is a tasty little saison – very refreshing, with a much lighter acidity than OEC is generally known for. It’s crisp, wheaty, and clean, with a lightly lemony and grassy funk, a quenching tartness on the back end, and a nice bready characteristic that feels kind of like sourdough.

This is light bodied, and really drinkable.

This would be an excellent summer crusher if I wasn’t in the middle of a Western NY winter.
