Stats above taken from the brewery’s can and website.

Appearance

Medium yellow/gold in color with a small, white head.

Aroma

A super-complex and estery aroma, featuring a mix of mushy grain and tree fruit.

Taste

Lemon zest with a hint of pith with some floral/herbal notes as well as sage-like/spices before a “hop kiss” at the end. A pleasant minerality persists on the palate from beginning through the finish.

Mouthfeel

Lighter to medium in body, with a gentle carbonation.

Overall

This one is super complex for such a small beer, as every taste highlights a different note. Pairing-wise, I was thinking about a Thai-inspired coconut-based dish or tamales, but saisons are generally amazing with food, so try something interesting.

Cheers and remember:

Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.
