NORTH COAST LE MERLE SAISON BELGIAN-STYLE FARMHOUSE ALE

Wobbly saison tries to be all things to everyone but half-asses the attempt. Honeysuckle-kissed apricot-tangerine-mango-pineapple tropicalia counters sour apple-cherry tartness and white peppered cinnamon-nutmeg spicing for impressive initiation, but metallic acidity decreases herbal-floral latency ’til astringent grassy-hopped barnyard-hay-horse blanket funk damages any lemony grapefruit rind remnant. Dry vermouth finish picks up misplaced medicinal mote.

BROOKLYN SAISON

Summery yellow-hazed Belgian-styled witbier juxtaposes wafting banana-grapefruit-apricot esters and prickly-hopped sunny lemon frontage against bubblegum center. Eventually, green apple souring picks up white-peppered coriander-honeysuckle illusions impaired by slightly acidic maize finish.
