Brewed in medieval castle, coppery bottle-conditioned saison layers buttery vanilla malts above tangy floral-hopped citric blight and mellow allspice-cardamom tingle. Metallic finish deadens green apple, pink grapefruit, and white peach zing.

HEAVYWEIGHT SAISON DE LA SOEUR – SPICY
BROOKLYN LOCAL 1 ALE
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.
