Tried this after the 2018 Firestone Invitational and gave it a 3.75 on Untappd while sipping it on the pool. Then again, that was about 35 tasters/samples deep. Was nice enough to get a can from Bill and Chris. Long description online read, “As the sirens sound and pints start getting poured, Aces Rye Dry-Hopped Saison smacks its propeller, hops in the cockpit, and swarms the airspace around your face filling the sky with huge tropical hoppy aromas and rustic yeast esters. Co-piloting this Farmhouse Ale in battle is heaps of malted rye; not just pairing its nutty and earthy flavor with the lemon-soaked hay character from its Saison yeast, but also adding a slick mouthfeel that flies in formation with fruity hop resins leaving a hoppy jet wash in its trail. Aromas of orange marmalade, hard lemon candies, black pepper, and cotton candy drop bombs on your palate like it's 1945 Dresden. As this baron comes in for landing it fires off its diverse flavors with the intensity of a Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IIa, hitting its target with grapefruit peel, white pepper, orange juice, and a unique finish of oak and vanillin. Aces Rye Dry-Hopped Saison is a hop-forward Saison with a flavor profile worthy of a Ken Burns documentary.” Dang that was long and unnecessary.
Poured a pale clear color with one finger of fizzy off-white head. Lots of bubbles coming up from the bottom of the glass, moving at differing speeds. Good watery lacing. Decent retention. (Sight - 3.50)
Smelled that Citra right up front, which was nice. Also lime, lemon candy, grapefruit, pineapple, tangerine rind, melon, pepper and cotton candy gum. Big Citra notes from the can too, obviously, smelling like a light IPA. (Smell - 4.00)
Taste followed the nose for the most part, although not quite as good. Kind of reminded me of a sour IPA, but got those pepper notes at the back to make that saison. Got Citra, lime, Lemonheads, grapefruit, melon, bitter tangerine rind, non-pulp orange juice, pineapple, lingering pepper spice, cotton candy bubblegum and hints of vanilla. (Taste - 3.75)
Medium body. Oily texture. Lively carbonation. Abrupt, bitter, dry finish. (Feel - 3.75)
A very good saison with Citra shining through. I’d have it again for sure. (Overall - 3.75)
