What Our Editors Thought
“Honed yeast note in the aroma leads with cool detachment. Full in the sip with wheaty body and strong bitterness that lingers. Bold and focused.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Earthy, pungent aromatics of pepper, orange peel, cardamom, ginger, and hints of wood. Flavor deftly blends black pepper and grains of paradise, but an aggressive spicy astringency comes on strong and lingers into the finish.”
What the Brewers Say
“Our version of a spiced Belgian saison.”
