16oz glass at Beer Revolution in YEGDT, another collaboration between Dandy and one of their fellow Calgarian craft brewers.
This beer appears a hazy, medium tarnished golden yellow colour, with one finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and sudsy bone-white head, which leaves some streaky archipelago lace around the glass as things slowly progress.
It smells of zesty citrus peel, friendly enough earthy yeast, tart underripe apples and pears, very dry white wine, faint grainy pale and wheat malt, a touch of mixed peppercorn spice, and a subtle alcohol astringency. The taste is fairly tart red apple flesh, some semi-sweet grainy wheatiness, more yeasty white wine lees, ethereal generic pepper mill spice, and a mildly perfumed earthy and floral hop bitterness.
The bubbles are decently active in their swirling and engaging frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and actually more or less smooth, the fruit dropping a chunk of the so-called tartness pretense. It finishes off-dry, the apple and white wine fruitiness ruling the day.
Overall, not an all that tart or acrid Saison, as the fruitiness obviously predominates, and the balanced nature therein soon takes over. Tasty, though, and rather reminiscent of my recent, and still kind of young-seeming Pinot Grigio home bottling.
