UPDATED: JUN 16, 2014 Acquired this a bit ago but can’t remember when. Bottle date is 03/2014. Split 3 ways (gasp) with some friends. This has been upright in my cellar since purchase..chilled to 50F before serving.A – Slight haze gold pour small head. Bottle started to gush slightly.
S – Spicy peppercorn and floral honeysuckle nose, sweet bread like sourdough.
T – Taste is actually more sweet than dry. Hearty bitterness with sweet lemon peel and snicker doodle cookies.
M – Not a huge mouthfeel, not the explosive carb I was expecting, slightly oily.
O – Really nice on a warm day, while it lacks a dry bright tartness we come to expect from HFS saisons, the maltiness was surprising and made the beer a pleasure to drink.
