650ml bottle - a 'Harvest Saison', and I'm gonna have to look up what the hell this one's name is referring to.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with two flabby fingers of puffy, rocky, and somewhat fizzy eggshell white head, which leaves some cannonball splash aftermath pattern lace around the glass as it quickly dissipates.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, some estery yeastiness, a hint of black peppercorn spice, some muddled domestic citrus peel, and very tame earthy, musty, and herbal hop bitters. The taste is grainy and bready pale malt, a lesser spicy wheatiness, fading orange and white grapefruit notes, an ephemeral earthy spiciness, some damp minerality, and more hard to discern earthy, herbal, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly laid-back in its insouciant-seeming frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and mostly smooth, with a minor clamminess arising as things warm up a bit at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the mixed malt running the lingering after-party.
Overall - this is an enjoyable enough version of the style, with the fruity essences going the extra mile. And I now see that 'stook' is an old term for a manner of storing sheaves of grain, which makes sense here, I suppose!
