OVERALL 4/5

   AROMA 8/10   APPEARANCE 4/5   TASTE 8/10   PALATE 4/5   OVERALL 16/20

AdamJackson (2578) – Enfield, New Hampshire, USA – SEP 11, 2014 

Received in a trade. Stored upright for about 6 weeks. Split the 750 5-ways which was a mistake

A – Really nice golden clarity, fluffy head that faded semi-quick to a light thin ring.

S – t. Lots of spice and peppercorn and Indian food spice with mushrooms Brett. Very interesting.

T – Loads of rose petal floral tastes. Spicy up front, honey and lime finish. Oily and coats the tongue with a fleeting lime only remainder when it’s gone. I get a little bit of apple and persimmon.

M – Nice dry mouthfeel at the finish but not as crisp as I was hoping. A bit too oily

O – This is still a fantastic saison! Really clean, lovely enjoyable. Classified here as a wild ale which is fine but has a lot of saison character.
