Busily effervescent straw-hued meringue-headed moderate-bodied saison brings sour citric-quince salience to large herbaceous profile. ‘Spicy lemon zest’ aromatics and re-fermented champagne yeast reinforce Granny Smith apple, tangerine, clementine, and wild berry nuances bubbling under salty white-peppered basil-rosemary-thyme-sage seasoning. Honeyed malt sweetness contrasts tart curried fruiting, mild lemongrass-eucalyptus surge, and dry farmhouse ale penchant for weedy wild oats, alfalfa, fennel, and barnyard parchedness. Mulling-spiced cardamom, nutmeg and clove find tertiary space.

Ambitious farmhouse-styled saison retains bitter-hopped herbal-nosed floral-spiced tropicalia. Resilient black, white, and lemon peppered grapefruit rind bittering contrasts honey-malted peach-pear-tangerine juicing, tropical pineapple-mango-kiwi surge, and wild-flowered dandelion-daisy-sunflower influence to creamy vanilla stead. Zesty lemon-pledged Granny Smith apple souring secures backend. More enjoyable with each sip, peeling away layers of rounded flavors.

Brewed in conjunction with established microbrewers Stone and Dogfish Head, Victory’s version utilizes a boatload of complexities to disseminate parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme seasoning. Crisp water base underlies clover-honeyed floral-spiced lemon peel bittering. Subsidiary coriander, allspice, and ginger drape piquant peppercorn insistence. Tangy lemon-peppered grapefruit-tangerine-orange briskness shines through busy herbal finish.

Slow-sipping wine-like Saison brings candi-sugared Belgian-styled fungi yeast funk to sudsy hop-fizzed foaming. Buttery Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc esters override cherry-pureed white grape snip and teasing lemon meringue sourness, reaching zesty grapefruit summit.

Brewed in conjunction with established microbrewers Stone and Victory, heady yellow-hazed Saison salutes Simon & Garfunkle’s popular ’66 album with parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme herbage. Creamy caramelized rye breading reaches herbaceous black-peppered rosemary summit above lemon-seeded grapefruit-peeled bittering that lingers to caraway-seeded harsh-grained finish. Dry earthen barnyard blanch, dark floral potpourri, and fennel-like respite add depth to everlasting tangerine tang of interesting 2010 sidestep. 2012 tapped version brought lemon-rotted orange peel tang to candi-sugared saffron, oats-dried minerality and grassy-hopped spicing.

More rewarding experience in the bottle than on tap. Perfectly balanced, tempering citric cider acidity with creamier malted fruits. Expansive sweet ‘n sour raspberry pulp tartness leads the way above pungent wheat straw earthiness. Pureed raspberry, cherry, and raisin illusions settle in as it warms. Honeyed wheat bed secures orange-dried fig-date subsidy.

On tap at Andy’s Corner Bar, deviant farmhouse-styled fruit ale maintains black-peppered grassy-hopped bittering, nearly ransacking primary apricot puree theme of barrel-aged Belgian-styled saison. Peppercorn, rosemary and thyme herbage infiltrates candi-sugared peach-brandied lacquering spread across wheat-cracked spine. Alcohol astringency soaks up tertiary ginger-spiced orange compote souring.

Zesty lemon briskness punctuates aromatic lemon-peeled bittering, dainty white wine zip, and Shiraz red wine souring of champagne-bubbled Belgian-styled Farmhouse ale. Funky cellar-bound yeast sinew fortifies peach-orange-apple fruiting and spicy coriander-clove sweetness. White-peppered chamomile, lemongrass, ginger, and spearmint herbage fill out tannic grape backdrop. On tap at Copper Mine, lemon-rotted yellow fruiting endures above abrupt basil, thyme, peppercorn and eucalyptus herbage.

Eccentricities abound for abstruse amber-hazed bubbly-headed saison. Sour-candied orange tartness, weedy dark floral frolic, cherry lollipop dollop, distant strawberry pungency, and impulsive brimstone acridity make strange bedfellows. Mild peppery-hopped orange rind bittering and soothing chamomile tea hint secure earthen fungi backdrop.

Meritorious wine-barrel aged Belgian-styled ‘sparkling Saison ale’ retains herbaceous hop-dried candi-sugared citrus nature. White-peppered orange peel, lemon rind, and juniper bitterness counters malt-lacquered grape-sugared champagne-fizzed white wine sweetness. Bubbly carbolic briskness brightens immense lemongrass-soured yellow-fruiting and ancillary banana-vanilla wince overriding earthen barnyard leathering to mildewed fungi yeast backdrop.

Earthen dried fruits abound for maroon-hued ruby-shaded springtime farmhouse ale. Funky Belgian yeast musk consumes pepper-hopped orange rind bittering, yellow grapefruit sourness, black cherry tartness, and tannic purple grape parching of dark saison. Banana chip, pickled fig, and sugar plum undertones drift through recessive schwarzbier-like mocha-smoked malting.

Expectant musty farmhouse funk and tart lemon-dried bittering bring Belgian-like sour ale nature to rocky beige-headed saffron-hazed medium body. Phenol raw-honeyed nectarine, pineapple, banana, and curacao orange fruiting receives resinous hop-dried barnyard-horsehide astringency. Too harshly metallic and weirdly herbal to capture crossover attention.
