What Our Editors Thought
“Soft floral nose with a slightly nutty, toasty malt note and a vague, vinous, sauvignon blanc undercurrent. Light pepper leads the sip but smooths into softer stone fruit and citrus peel as it sits. Refined and reserved despite the characterful flavors.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Classic banana and grainy malt character in the aroma, with a spicy lemon sweetness. Chewy wheatiness in the flavor with banana esters. Generous dose of hops kicks in and leads to a bitter finish.”
What the Brewers Say
“Saison brewed with 25 percent fonio (ancient African grain).”
