Piccolo Birrificio Seson

Brewed by Piccolo Birrificio
Style: Saison
Apricale (IM), Italy

Pours a lovely golden honey color with a small ring of froth. Sweet but spicy floral nose reminiscent of gin, but without the harsh alcohol astrigency. Some citrus and fresh cut flowers as well. Honey sweet body, a hint of cereal grains and tobacco. A little too buttery and old world for my tastes, but still quite enjoyable.

Clear dark gold with a white head. Nice aroma is salty freshly chopped celery with tomato paste and pale bready malt, really not as bad as it sounds. Lightly carbonated with a smooth texture. Good flavors of grainy pale malt with dry hay and spices, another funky flavored Saison. enjoyed this one.

Tap at Blind Tiger. Deep golden-amber beer. Thin white head. Aroma is quite nice. Rich clovey spice with cinnamon and a rich fruity character. Orange, cherry, blueberry and a soft spiciness as well. Flavour is quite rich, but the beer is still pretty well-attenuated. Orange peel, toast and a lingering wheaty spicy flavour. Lingering berries and herbs. Lightly minty and herbal on the back. As it warms, the yeast gets quite spicy and reminds me of Unibroue... continues to evolve and becomes more fruity as it continues to warm.

11.2oz - thanks SoLan - Aroma of doughy yeast and grassy hops with a sharp spicy nose of coriander, juniper and pepper. Pours cloudy brown with a medium head and great lacing. Flavor matches aroma. Palate is creamy and tart. Not a "funky" saison, but it is spicy and refreshing. A great summer beer.

I really enjoyed the drinkability of this representation of a saison. Usually, I am turned off by a lot of the odd flavours present. However, I know that that is exactly what a lot of people look for in a saison. I think this is a completely delicious, refreshing, and drinkable version of this style.

Pours a cloudy burnt orange color with a small white head. Smells of an unusual blend of spices. Some black pepper, maybe a touch of mint, also was noticeable. Definitely had a fruity presence as well. The flavor has a certain sweetness to it that I wasnt expecting at all. Almost like caramel or toffee is the best I could describe it. The finish was smooth, but didnt care for the aftertast too much. Not really bitter, but left a bland fruity flavor on the tongue. Ive had better saisons.

Golden colored but not pale. Aroma is pleasant but light and little zesty consisting of some light fruits, chardonnay and some yeast. Citrus coriander and lemon flavors, a bit of white wine with some yeast and a oak note towards the finish. Light and refreshing but maybe just a little too light. Interesting but good, I enjoyed it quite a bit, but wow is it too expensive.

750 from the abbey in Deland, Fl. Sweet citrus, orange peel in the aroma with a spiciness. Pours cloudy golden with a white head. Strong citrus flavors with spices like ginger and grains of paradise, sweet with a dry finish. Not bad.
