What Our Panel Thought
Aroma: “Faint musty spicy notes, with hints of peach. The hops accentuate the fruit and spice character and add earthy hints.”
Flavor: “Definitely gets the dry character of a saison right, great grainy body followed by hints of light fruit on the swallow. Finishes quite dry, but not astringent.”
Overall: “The underlying saison is really well made—you get the spicy fermentation quality and grainy dry finish of the style. The dry hopping adds great complexity, especially in the aroma.”
What the Brewers Say
“Collaboration with our friends at Our Mutual Friend. Farmhouse Pale Ale brewed with Citra, Centennial and Sterling hops then fermented with a blend of 12 Brettanomyces strains in stainless for 3 months, then aged in Chardonnay barrels.”
