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
(OMMEGANG) OMMEGEDDON FUNKHOUSE ALE
Silken-spiced straw-hazed Belgian-styled Saison gains white-peppered spearmint-basil momentum and grassy barnyard hop dryness to counter floral grapefruit-pineapple-apricot tartness overriding lemon-bruised orange peel bittering. Mellow butterscotch-marshmallow creaminess sweetens ginger-clove-dabbed herbal center and earthen mineral-grained bottom.
SOUTHAMPTON SAISON BELGIAN-STYLE FARMHOUSE ALE
(CLIPPER CITY) RED SKY AT NIGHT SAISON ALE
RAMAPO VALLEY DEMON FUEL ALE
Summery rust-toned sour-spiced Saison-styled ale retains intricate bright fruity overtones and gratifyingly converse wintry cinnamon-nutmeg seasoning. Loud blueberry-juniper sensation increased by glistening floral resonance and eucalyptus-mint freshness, finishing with a strong alcohol kick. Tangy citrus sass infiltrates secondary syrupy barleywine illusions.
