3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Hmmm, so this one is a little odd - a bit of molasses and brown sugar, plus a touch of smoky phenols - quite a bit of pepper - candi sugar sweetness is clean but a bit high - not usually a fan of sweet saisons - mild tartness and citrus from the yeast tries to balance, but the sweetness is rather heavy - loads of peppery phenols in the finish - alcohol is well masked - it’s okay, but too sweet for me.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at Freshcraft. Pours a deep golden color with a medium frothy white head that fell to a nice ring leaving some light lacing. Aroma has a big barnyard funky earthiness with pepper and an underliying sugary sweetness. Taste follows the nose but is much sweeter with candied sugar and a citrus presence. Alcohol is present but not overpowering. Medium bodied and smooth with a crisp dry finish.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft at Funkwerks. Pours a deeper shade of gold/orange. Fluffy white head that sticks to the end. Nose is fresh and fruity, lots of pepper notes and citrus. On tasting, the alcohol is somewhat apparent in this one, nice and dry tartness comes across and works with the faint caramel notes. Refreshing and crisp, especially surprising given the abv. Really enjoyable beer, though a bit big for my tastes.
