A: Pours a clear golden yellow color. A one finger white head forms, and recedes to leave some lace behind.
S: A fruity, hoppy aroma that is a bit dish detergent/soapy like. Orange rind and citrus fruits, and almost no yeast character.
T: There is a light plastic phenolic character. Again the hops are orange rind and citrus forward, and again become soapy. Light lingering bitterness.
M/O: A medium body with moderate carbonation. Fairly smooth, but also oily. Its OK to drink once while trying it at the brewery, though I can't see myself coming back to this a lot.
The only bit of yeast character that comes through is a generic plastic phenolic flavor up front. I'm getting kind of tiered of American breweries using that as the default for their middle of the road Saisons, with no other discernible yeast flavors. Other than that, just kind of hoppy. Not a particularly good example of the style.
