Commercial Description:
This delicious farmhouse ale is named for our Jack Russell, who struck by a car, bounced back in fine tenacious Jack Russell fashion, and is brewed for those of us who knocked down, have picked up, dusted off and carried on undaunted. Golden, naturally cloudy, bottle conditioned and dry hopped for a perfectly refreshing balance of spicy malts, hops and yeast. Please enjoy our beers in good health, And look both ways when crossing the street!

Bottle. Hazy golden colour with a big white head. Aroma: fresh, lightly sour, a bit funky, light cheese, mango, lemon, spices, a bit of wood. Flavor: lightly sour, a bit funky, yeasty, dry, mango, lemon peel, grass, white bread/crackers, fruity but not very sweet. Dry and a bit bitter finish. Lively carbonation. Very easy drinking session beer.

Nose was similar to standard saison notes with a heavier funk and slight horse blanket. Poured Pretty standard for a saison. Taste is slightly spicy, nice lemon zest, pepper, and a tad of funk.

Bottle, batch 354/355:
Pours hazy dark yellow/pale brown with a rich head. Aroma is sourish, funky, hoppy and spicy; smells almost like Orval! Somewhat sourish flavour with spices and hops. Dryish finish. Tastes like a lighter Orval. Very refreshing on a hot day like this (28C/82F).

750 ml bottle. Finland. Batch 367/368. Hazy golden colour with medium-size off-white head. Fruity, yeasty, bready, doughy and spicy aroma. Sour, fruity, malty, somewhat bitter hoppy flavour. Very interesting. I’d love to take another one. But it’s so darn expensive (at least here in Finland).

Bottle pours yellow with a fluffy head. Bready and yeast like aroma. Bready body with a dryness at the swallow. Some spice (orange peel and maybe cinnamon) detected. A bit too heavy for me to feel like other saisons, but still nice.

Bottle.A hazy golden color pour with a huge rocky white head, highly carbonated , lots of jagged lacing left. Aroma is slightly yeasty, spicy with a bit of tartness. Flavor is slightly sour and yeasty, coriander and citrus with a hint of tangerine in the finish,not as sweet as other Saison I have had . Light body with a crisp ,clean mouthfeel , and a dry finish. Very refreshing and sessionable , a very good beer

Enjoyed from a 750ml bottle in a small chalice. The beer pours a bright yellow to straw-gold, with a large white head. The aroma brings notes of lemons, pilsner malt, coriander, and a touch of hops. The palate is pure saison: drying maltiness, citrusy, and bone-dry in the finish. Overall, a great saison.
