Our take on the Belgian farmhouse ales, saisons were traditionally brewed for refreshment during the summer months. Light in color, effervescent with a billowy, well-retained head — it is very dry and strongly aromatic with light pepper and pear overtones. Heavier in alcohol at 7% abv, it finishes clean and bright, with a very light bitterness. Saison is far more a tradition than a style. Made with wine yeast by French speaking people in the ‘grain belt’ of Europe, saison was brewed in winter to slake thirsts of farm workers in summer. We found that in many ways saison goes far beyond white wines that were in the minds of the old Wallonians. It can be as dry and crisp but far more variable. In Belgium, every farm house had its own saison, influenced by their very own farm and the grains available to them. For Mystic Saison we worked towards the essence of saison.

I like Saisons and measure them agains Dupont. This one was not a winner for me (and I think its now labeled as Saison Renaud.) Typical saison nose and appearance. Mouth could be slicker fix is good. Not a fan of the flavor balance, too astringent/medicinal although all the typical farmhouse notes are there, I suspect its the yeast that is off-putting to me.

first bottle of the share .. . pours a effervescent gold .. . medium head, lots of white lacing .. . light grain, hay, yeast, and dough .. . mild spritz .. . pretty good, but still too american for my liking
.. . . well its better than rubbing your head for 4 hours and ending up dead in a shoebox..
