Our annual tree beer, the one where the team harvests a 6 ft. Douglas Fir tree and it goes into the whirlpool on brew day! Notes of citrus, Meyer lemon and a hint of holiday pine.

I am sampling a 2024 can with no date stamp, but only the vintage year on the label. Pouring into my snifter.
Given to me as a gift, and it sat in my cellar since Im a little leary of a saison with actualy fir tree used in the brewing process. But here we go!
The beer pours a bright clear gold color with large fluffy bleached white head of almost 5 cm foaming up and almost overspilling, but the clinginess holds it in the glass. Foam recedes slowly leaving some windowpane lattice. Dense soft foams sits on top of the beer throughout my tasting.
Many very fine streams of carbonation rise towards the surface during the sampling.
Aroma is much less Christmas tree than I anticipated , I do get some lemon, maybe some pink bubblegum, hints of coriander and a little spicy black pepper. No hop character really and not boozy.
First sip reveals a relatively light body with fine and gentle carbonation, texture is smooth and the beer drinks easy. I get some lemon on the flavor profile mixing with a little white grape and hard candy. Mixing with some spicy yeast and a little white bread dough. Finish has that same pink bubblegum trait that I found on the nose. Where the hell is the Fir Tree? Did that fade in the past 1.5 years? No hint of the ABV and hops are absent.
This is a pretty smooth and complex saison that I am enjoying, even though its out of my normal comfort zone. Not sure I would chase it, but I wont be so hesitant with drinking this one again in the future.
