What Our Editors Thought

“White grape evident on the nose, giving way to a soft, doughy palate and relatively restrained carbonation. Mandarin orange adds a brighter note; there’s a faint thread of anise in the background.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Doughy, fruit-forward aroma with lemon, black pepper, orange peel, light ginger, honey. Sweet flavor, reminiscent of orange cream, with a round mouthfeel; sweet dough, phenols, lemon, and potpourri in the finish. Full, chewy mouthfeel, like a wheat beer. Sweet. Could be drier and hoppier to better balance the fullness.”

What the Brewers Say

“Farmhouse saison brewed with spelt.”
