Pucker up, sour and biting bittersweet fruit juice rule this tart and unusually shadowy winter style saison. A pleasant parcel of dryness marks the exit - for me one of the many enjoyable characteristics of this style of beer. This brew has a uniqueness about it, standing out among the noisy rabble of 12oz winter seasonal six packs. I am always interested and happy to support breweries that do their part to take new or forgotten styles to the masses. Definitely locate a few bottles of this to share with some folks that have never heard of a saison or farmhouse ale.
