I have yet to be let down by the "To Thee" series. I ran in to this one by suprise. Love the label.
Pours foggy, frosty yellow with an orange hue. Thin, fizzy white cap.
Green grapes and hay fill the air on top pop. Clove and white pepper...oh my!
This is big and sweet. Thick, honey glazed grain and fruit. Green grapes, green apples, and pears. Spicy clove. The finish is a touch bitter, but still mainly sweet. Although I personally feel there's enough grassy, earthy balance to make it a pretty good attempt at a saison.
This has to be one of the thickest saisons I've ever had. Not that it's terribly thick, but it's close to medium and very slick. There seems to be a lack of carbonation though. I think a few more bubbles would help this one out a bit.
I feel this is a pretty good take on a American made saison.

A: 3.25 - Poured into a standard pint, I got almost no head despite a vigorous pour.
S: 3.5 - Is this a sour beer? No hops to speak of, but a green apple sort of tart scent.
T: 3.5 - Hmm, not sour--well, there is a little bit of a tart underpinning. Bitterness is on the low side of moderate. Lots of fruity yeast character.
M: 3.5 - A little thin, probably because it's so well attenuated.
O: 3.25 - Eh, not very good. I've been impressed by Rahr many times, but this offering completely underwhelms me.
