Commercial Description:
Our Imperial Saison captured a bold celebratory shout of apricot and peach in a bottle. Both bright and bold this is a lively truly living beer. Bottle conditioned with rare Belgian yeast and soured to illuminate its copper hued body. Ginger and Grains of Paradise promiscuously dance with Styrian Golding hops. Wipe winter from your brow and enjoy now or attempt to resist its siren song and lay down in your cellar.

Bottle, from the co-op in Viroqua, WI. Shiny orange pour, nice layer of milk-white head. Heavy fruit nose—papaya, ginger, bubblegum, a little raw earth. Peach fruit flavor, with some alcohol sweetness up front, (though pleasantly dry finishing) some garden mint and a general spicy character. Fairly delicate for the strength. A bit unfocused and noisy as it is now, but seems like the sort of thing that has lots of potential to gain interest with a couple of years on it.

Poured from bottle to tulip. A: Pours an brilliant, sparkling golden color, with a thick 1 finger head that dissipates quickly. S: Very muted notes of grapefruit, a little boozy smelling. T: Intense tart flavor followed by a mellow citrus aftertaste. A crisp hop finish rounds this brew out. Great balance between all the flavors, I can’t pick all the fruit out. An impressive complex beer! M: Medium body with many differing floral notes and clear sour tones. D: A quite drinkable beer which is amazing considering the style. The higher ABV deteriorates from this ever so slightly. Still a solid addition to the new glarus lineup, and an enjoyable beer.

Bottle: The aroma is fruity along with yeast, floral notes, and a hint of tart peaches. It pours a a hazy dull orange with lots of sediment and a half inch creamy white head. The flavor starts lightly fruity with some yeast. The finish has some mild floral noted and a nice lemony sourness. Medium bodied with lively carbonation that borders on prickly at times.

The Dan Journal #282. Tasted 8/21/09. 12oz bottle. Hazy hue. Good aromas with hints of citrus and a touch pepper. Full bodied and tasty. Very nice dichotomy between the sweet and tart.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a huge orangey head. The aroma has notes of malt and fruits. The flavor is sweet and acidic with notes of fruits and malt, as well as some notes of yeast, and citrus, leading to dry acidic finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Bottle 35,5 cl. Courtesy of madmitch76. Pours a hazy deep golden with an off-white head. Perfumy, spicy nose. Medium body, very lively carbonation, tart, citrusy, fruity and very spicy. Finish is tart, but the massive carbonation is a drag. An odd bird indeed. 091109

Pours a firey yellow orange with a stiff white head. Pleasant nose with some light peach or apricot aroma. Some of the same flavors. There’s a mild floral and perfume character. A nice little sweet tang. High carbonation. Tastey.
