Baker
Fair Isle Brewing

 

Baker is a fizzy fruity yellow, with lots of bubbles and a bit of a head. The smell is lime, mostly. The taste is fruity, limey tart, with a little ginger as an accent. There's a solid amount of yeasty funk. The mouthfeel is sparkling, almost effervescent. Overall, it's a really tasty beverage, almost closer to champagne or a sparkling wine than to a classic beer. Highly recommended.

Unique and delicious, the ginger brings a crispness that balances the grains really well. And the sizzly mouthfeel is nearly perfect.

rustic saison infused with ginger and lime and fermented with their funky lightly tangy house culture. cute little can on this one, neat packaging choice, it looks amazing, i just want a lot more of this than can fit in the can. very blonde yellow brew with soft haze and a high rising belgian looking head and popping carbonation, this looks incredible delicate and alive, gorgeous in a white wine glass. the nose is highly fragrant, even on the edge of perfume, way more lime than ginger, authentic enough, but pungent enough to seem forced a little bit, less delicate than it looks certainly, with the ginger adding some neat zesty spiciness to the key lime tang. familiar fair isle funk and lemony tartness here as well, white wheat and belgian type pils malt seems like the extent of the grain base. the flavor is also just a touch overdone i think on the lime, which strides way out in front of the ginger, still they present as fairly natural and they go great together, but this is one of their more highly flavored brews i can recall to date. it gets better as it warms, the lime has an oily essence to it, there is a floral note in here, some dry crackery character from the malt, even a light organic rawness, and the yeast is amazing, slightly bretty, fully old worldy, highly refined ferment overall. i like there not being too much ginger here, and after i warm up to it a little, i love it. feels like champagne on the palate, swallows clean despite all the lime, and drinks refreshing and delicious. fair isle is on top of the world right now, i am loving everything!
