Quarryman Saison Etrange
Quarryman Taverne & Brewery

Thanks to a northern Ohioan for tracking down a bottle of this for me. The bottle itself is beautiful with a yellow wax seal. It is also the first bottle of beer I have tried that employed both a bottle cap AND a cork. That is 3 layers of defense between me and a beer. The beer itself is a deep orange-amber color with a very thick and foamy bone white head. The lacing is very thick and sticky throughout. Lots of sweet fruit and allspice in the aroma. Medium-bodied, with an interesting fruit and spice flavor. Faint citrus throughout as well. There are also a lot of hops in the aftertaste. The finish is dry and tart. Although I am not all that familiar with the style, I enjoyed this one.
