Fruit additions an interesting complement to the saison style

 

 

 

Can: Poured a clear light pink color ale with a medium foamy head with light retention and so lacing. Aroma of light berry and hibiscus with some light cereal notes is OK. Taste is a mix of light berry notes with some hibiscus and some berry notes with some cereal notes which kind of clash with the berries. Body is light with good carbonation. Not bad but not sure the balance between flavours is somewhat off.

 

 

This is an interesting beer. It looks nice, an almost berry pink but very light. A thin white head that lasts for a few minutes giving way to small islands of foam. The smell brings forth the berries that are promised on the label. One can also pick up the standard saison scents of grassyness and some spices. The taste is where the fun comes in. While one can taste the berries, the botanicals (also promised) are more dominant. Only after these fade does one get the saison/Belgian flavors. The feel is a little thin and watery. All in all a fair effort, but not one of this brewer's best.
