On tap at Jimmy’s No. 43, musty Belgian yeast picks up botanical floral aspects and white-peppered herbal notions for sweet ‘n sour citric ascendance. Heather tips (instead of hops) provide hyssop-perfumed honeysuckle nectar sweetness to soft lemon custard, mandarin orange and green grape illusions.

On tap at Three Wise Monks, viscous wildflower honey-spiced Belgian strong pale ale (with citric French saison attributes) fortifies sour green-white grape esters and orange-bruised Grand Marnier boozing with sparkling champagne yeast. Well disguised 11.5% alcohol burn never interferes with honey fruited pleasantries.

Reliable farmhouse ale for sessionable imbibing. Sweet candi-sugared Belgian yeast gains tangy tropical-fruited spicing above herbal-hopped flaked rye, dried oats and straw wheat. White-peppered pineapple, banana, mango, peach and passion fruit illusions increase intensity.

Summery dry-bodied moderation (a.k.a. la saison de pete) forsakes typical stylistic saison tartness for thinner lemony herbal frontage and wispier grapefruit-peeled bittering. Musty grape-skinned clementine, tangerine, navel orange and marmalade souring turns a tad acrid. Mild grassy hops dessicate frail white-breaded spine and local cranberry influence gets hidden beneath slushy citric swerve.

Intriguing collaboration between local Virginia brewers (Lost Rhino/ Vintage 50/ Hardywood/ Bluejacket) brings lemony pomegranate-juiced tartness to citric-soured grape esters. Vinous green and white grape leathering and oaken cherry pucker cause bone dry acridity to contrast honeyed wheat base. Floral hibiscus-lotus nuances flutter by botanical citric-spiced finishof turbid pink coppered farmhouse ale.

Well-constructed wine-like saison brings rotted lemon and orange putrification to vinous white and green grape esters. Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and dry champagne wining receives raw-honeyed Belgian yeast barnyard funk as well as musty cellar-like pungency. White-peppered grassy hops lightly affect sour grape scape and latent green apple tartness.

Moderate dry-bodied farmhouse ale in a can utilizes ‘assertive’ cardamom pod spicing to placate sour citrus entry and herb-roasted follow-up. White-peppered lemon verbena, yellow grapefruit and banana bread illusions settle alongside ginger-rooted green and black tea nuances.

On tap at NJ Beer Expo ’13, traditional dry-bodied farmhouse ale offers approachable sour-fruited candied citrus whimsy. Lemon-curried honeydew, melon and banana dot Belgian fungi yeast to grassy hay bottom. Salty black peppered snip perks up yellow-fruited misting.

Easygoing Belgian farmhouse ale scatters honeyed lemondrop souring across bubbly champagne grape prickle, musty white-peppered herbal fungi and molasses-draped black rye malts. Juicy pineapple, peach, banana, tangerine, nectarine and melon fruiting fortifies resinous lemongrass, chamomile, rosemary, thyme and sage undertones. Biscuit-y baked-breaded sourdough bottom stays firm.

Elegantly detailed and highly sessionable saison (with billowy white head above straw-paled body) brings farmhouse-styled airborne minerality to herbaceous citric fruiting. White-peppered lemon zest and yellow grapefruit souring seep inside leathery fresh-cut grassing as lemongrass, cardomom, basil and thyme fill out the midst. A terrific collaboration with France’s Thiriez Brasserie.

Brisk citric penetration leads the way above candi-sugared Belgian yeast, but supposed black peppercorn influence is nebulous. Tart orange-peeled crispness and lemony green grape aspect saturate bittersweet honey mead-like medium body. Barest barnyard funk beckons beneath whiskey-tinged crystal malts.

Easygoing light-bodied sessionable saison brings white-peppered cilantro-parsley-lemongrass harbage and unmalted dry graining to citric-toned carbolic spritz. Residual sugaring creeps into foremost lemondrop tartness while lime-wedged peach-pear-grape conflux increases above fungi yeast bottom.
