UPRIGHT SIX

Busily complex ‘dark rye saison’ hybrid plies dried fruiting to molasses rye breading, mild peppery hop bittering and light peat-smoked malts. Sugared fig, plum and raisin spicing gains tart cherry smidge. Subtle tobacco-leafed crisping, clean mineral graining and scorched earth dirtiness backup marvelously schizoid farmhouse ale.

ALLAGASH SAISON

Delicately refined farmhouse ale with tangy Cascade-hopped tropical fruiting and ‘herbal highlights’ reaches ‘rustic dry finish.’ Earthen musk desiccates mineral-grained saison yeast tartness as zesty lemon briskness and muted orange-peeled pineapple sweetness rise above malted barley-oats base. Soft white-peppered coriander spicing and herbal lemongrass-peppercorn-basil-thyme conflux penetrate the surface as well.

ST. FEUILLIEN SAISON

Well-balanced Belgian farmhouse ale in 11.2-ounce can brings spicy candi-sugared yeast sweetness and floral-perfumed fruiting to herbal lemon souring, dry white-peppered respite and straw-grassed barnyard acridity. Tangy orange, peach, apple and tangerine tones pick up tart banana-clove whim. Emblematic citric-spiced flavor profile retains enduring sourdough malt richness its American competitors sometimes lack.
