Anchor Saison

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

12oz bottle pours with a crystal clear deep gold body that has copper hues and supports a thin white head. The modest aroma offers up spicy saison yeasty notes as well as apple, fig and pear fruity sweetness. The taste rushes forward with saison spiciness, apple and fig fruitiness and then yielding to more spices and a cracked black pepper sensation. A decent saison but leans toward being a bit too sluggish and sweet and not pulling up the lighter crispness I enjoy in far too few saisons.

Bottle: Poured a hazy copper with an off white to tan head. Aroma is soapy and Belgian yeast esters. Taste is a zesty citrus lemon and peel with yeast esters. Finish is dry and peppery.

Has that Belgian farmhouse flavor, but not so much that saison bubbly feel. Almost like a Belgian IPA hybrid. Grassy, light citrus, yeasty, and mildly hopped. Lighter semi-clear orange appearance. Found a single of this on clearance for a buck....good enough to try again.

Pours a rusty orange with a white head, no head retention, lots of carbonation, beer is clear, no lacing. The aroma is of Belgian yeast, spice, coriander, honey, ginger, pepper, slight lemon notes. The taste up front was, Belgian yeast with spice, pepper, clove, touch of ginger, in the middle there's some lemon, finish is dry and citrusy with a touch of spice, no alcohol on the flavor. The mouthfeel was light/medium bodied with a good amount of carbonation, dry finish.

A bright bronze colored beer with a small, three fingered sudsy textured red-beige head rising above. There's some hang time on the head. It settles into a moderate ringlet. A vinegary, funked nose. Lots of pepper, ginger in the tasting. Full rich body.

Light bronze body, with a thin, wispy cap that receded quickly. Aromas of spices, lemon and a touch of bubblegum. Flavor is much the same with the spices coming out with a toasty finish. Overall, not really a saison, but a fair beer.

Very good as a Belgian pale ale or table beer. Light and refreshing not to much brett funk going on. I like it. Altho I do like brett funk in Belgian beer. Nice coppery yellow pour with a nice nose of brett and fruit. Easy on the palate with good finish. Clean. Will look for more.

Liked it as a Belgian ale, but not really as a saison. Had that Sam Adams grains of paradise thing going on (though GOP are not present)...a touch heavy in body for the style, but it worked, kinda. Peppery and spiced, liked the light ginger and lemongrass throughout. Not their best, but nice enough.
