1L howler from Sherbrooke Liquor store - another variation of Blindman's base Saison, it would appear - their website is sorely lacking in any additional or helpful informational capacity.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with a ton of rising effervescence, and one chubby-ass finger of puffy, very loosely foamy, and fizzy off-white head, which leaves a few sparse instances of island cay lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of gritty and semi-sweet grainy pale malt, mushy apples and pureed pears, some not so subtle black pepper and coriander spice, and understated leafy, weedy, and floral hop bitters. The taste is more crackery and bready pale malt, middling table-top pepper spice, a nearly untethered earthy yeastiness, some hard to pin down underripe pome fruit notes, and a consistent weedy, herbal, and floral green hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly active in its roundabout and probing frothiness, the body just on the light side of yer typical medium weight, and mostly smooth, just a bit of that expected yeasty astringency taking its minor tithe here. It finishes trending dry, with both the yeast and the heretofore genial hops making a day of it.
Overall, a well-made, and generally engaging Saison, however the delta in reference to their base version duly escapes me, so I can't really say what this new iteration really means in the grand scheme of things. Worthy of checking out, if you're into them, or this sort of thing, I would gather.
