A beautiful little saison brewed with @DeerCreekMalt barley and triticale, hopped with Hersbrucker, Huell Melon, and some of our Attic Aged Hops, fermented with our 2021 Foraged Yeast Culture, and conditioned in the can for extra flavors and lots of bubbles. It has notes of dank juicy fruit gum, ripe and sweet tamarind, splitting firewood, anise hyssop, some spring honey, and some dry white pepper.

Conservative pour still resulted in loads and loads of dense, dirty head with good retention and lacing. For as effervescent as this beer was, the head was remarkably thick. Light copper and clear. Aroma is all saison. Tart, with some light earthy / lemony elements. Taste is lightly tart & funky with just enough spice. Lively feel. Very solid saison.

Pours a cloudy brownish bronze color. Huge pillowy, overflowing white head forms on the beer. Head slowly dissipates leaving just a thin ring of white foam along the outside of the beer.
Aroma has notes of grain, some light lemon tart notes, some yeast, and some floral, herbal hops.
Taste follows the nose with notes of grainy bread, some light malts, hints of lemon, some light spicy yeast finishing with some floral, herbal hoppy notes.
Feel is light to medium bodied, smooth, and easy drinking. Bright carbonation. Semi-dry finish.
Overall a really nice saison - very much enjoyed this one.

Clear, bronze-tinted gold with strong effervescence and two fingers of yellowed head. Solid lacing.
Musty yeast in the nose gives an almost woody impression. It’s coupled with some light lemon fruitiness.
Extremely clean and dry tasting. The mustiness and fruit are just barely there, replaced by an almost stoney quality. (There’s a hint of nuttiness, too, that may be a flaw.) Crumbled-leaves, tea-like bitterness in the finish.
Just a hair more body than water. Moderate tonic water carbonation.
A bit too austere to my liking. It’s like a very bitter, stale iced tea with just a hint of lemon served out of stoneware. Margaret Thatcher fans will enjoy this best.
