Easygoing tingly-hopped amber-glowed light body brings tangy orange zip to pineapple-candied tartness. Subtly perfumed cardamom-coriander dip perfectly apropos.

FANTOME SAISON D’EREZEE – PRINTEMPS
Temporal white-wined Chardonnay dryness secures lasting green apple tartness and variable lemony grapefruit souring of straw-hazed dry-bodied Saison. Floral rose-saffron waft appends musty barnyard, horse blanket, and fresh-cut hay peripheral to black-peppered fruit-tannic finish. Shake up bottom yeast sediment to expose honeyed medicinal lushness.
YARDS SAISON BELGIAN STYLE ALE
Nondescript fizzy Seltzer lightweight needs better coriander-spiced orange peel thrust, deeper malt penetration. stiffer peppery hop sway, and tarter floral-dried lemon-apricot-grapefruit medley. Lazy, hazy, pale-toned session beer suffers further when horse-blanket mustiness lessens sweet banana nose and candied coriander-clove sensation. Belgian yeast influence indiscernible.
(BLAUGIES) DARBYSTE ALE
Brewed with complimentary (instead of dominant) fig juice, vinous viscous-coppered Belgian retains fluffy white head, clumped yeast sediment, and sharp cider tartness. Pungent grapefruit-dried tangerine-peach tang compels sulky sour grape acidity and cork-y herbal pinch to soak up honeyed malt sweetness. A bit too sudsy as an after dinner drink.
FLYING DOG WILD DOG COLORADO SAISON ALE
Soft-textured bottle-conditioned pearly-headed amber-hazed saison explodes in mouth like heavily carbolic champagne. Wafting barnyard funk wavers above tart lemony grapefruit musk, faint banana-apple-apricot tuft, and white-peppered basil-thyme herbage to fizzy curacao orange cusp. Dusted citron spicing provides delicate white ale zest.
