So I came across this nifty Ale as part of the beer of the month club.
It's nose is light and lemon grassy, it's a cloudy blonde in color with a loose head that is explained by the Bret that it;s brewed with. There is not much malt flavor, but the hops do stand up to funkiness. It's actually not too funky, it has a pleasant mouth forward flavor and mouth feel, but it's actually pretty clean straight forward ale.
It's also apparently fermented in oak, but that is mercifully subtle as well.
All told it's a solid clean beer, that doesn't really call attention to itself... which could be an insult, but when you consider that this is a saison that actually works really well. I'd go so far as to call this a session-able saison... You could easily drink an entire bomber of this on a hot summer afternoon, and enjoy every drop... and isn't that the mark of a great beer?
I'd give this a sold 4 out of five and might just grab another of these if I see one at Marty's.
