Mikkel and Brian are two of the world’s most unconventional brewers. After having met at a beer festival, the two realized that their first creations both were called Stateside. It was then an obvious decision to make the two recipes into a new product, packed full of piney, resinous hops, and backed by the esters of a farmhouse yeast strain.

    May 2012: Sample at Copenhagen Beer Celebration. Golden colour. Nice aroma of tropical fruits and saison yeast. Tropical fruits in the flavour too, also notes of coriander. Good beer.

    Aroma is mainly yeasty with a firm apple note and just a hint of malt. It pours a pretty clear orange amber with a very thick and rather persistent white head. Fruity flavor has orange and apple notes as well as yeasty and malty tones. Average-bodied texture is smooth and just a little fizzy, leaving behind a subtle fruity tingle. Overall, not too shabby.

    This poured a light orange color with a white head. The aroma contains some wheat, oranges, lemons, and spices. The flavor contains more citrus and spices, namely oranges and lemons. A carbonated mouthfeel on this. The aftertaste is slightly sour. Overall I enjoyed it.

    I'm quite familiar with Mikkeller but haven't had a Stillwater product, so I think for the first time with them (and with the help of Mikkeller) it was a nice introduction. The beer pours out a hazy copper hue, tight bubbles with a dense creamy off-white head and it left behind some fantastic lacing. Aroma kicks things off with some vanilla-orange-creamsicle character going on, fruity, honey, yeasty and wet wood. One sip and immediately the yeast hits me. Huge notes of spicy yeast, honey, lime zest/citrus with a light toast finish. Mouthfeel is on the mineral side, finish is clean. Really nice.

    Draught@CPH BF 2011. Orangeish golden colour with a small head. Aroma is fruits, caramel, some sour wood as well as mild farmyardy notes. Flavour is quite much the same with the fruity and floral notes being a bit stronger than in the aroma.

    I hadn't heard much about this when I stumbled across it on RB looking for a beer store in Seattle for a buddy to pick me up beer. Purchased shortly afterwards and brought back to Canada for drinking. I thought it was specifically a saison, but now I understand that its a Saison/IPA, which makes the colour so much more understandable. Poured dark slightly muddy orange, similair to the silt in red rocks canyon NV when it rains. Large soapy fine bubbles for the head, which dissipate in 30 seconds to a skiff with a couple really large pimples continuing to bubble on and on. Smell is largely piney resinous hops--simple. Light fruit suggesting grapefruit and white sugar. In the mouth it tingles! In a really great way! Feels great, medium bodied, but not syruppy but anything but thin. The best mouthfeel I think. Pineapple, passion fruit and pomegranate show up in the flavour profile, and I can smell them now too. The yeast is obvious saison and does great things here-- seems to manifest in gentle--nay, brisk--sea breeze in this one, even with a touch of barnacle. I think I should have done this whole review in mock gypsy now. I feel like this beer is not the most amazing thing that ever happened, but I like it much better than any IPA or DIPA/IIPA or saison that I have tried to this point. If rating on Saison its way up there, for IPA is above average for sure. I would buy often if I could find it, great for picnics I think, not so heavy like a IIPA, not so bitter but still better mouthfeel than many saisons.

    this ipa/saison turned out to be pretty interesting. the flavor was more hoppy than the aroma, and covered up a lot of steside saisons characteristics. that's bad for the flavor, good for the mouthfeel. aroma a nice but subdued mix of hoppiness and barnyard. Interesting, but probably a one timer.

    On tap at the Brasserie, pretty stellar beer if you ask me. Pours a hazey orange, slightly tart throughou the palate. Fruity esters, citrus pine hoppy goodness. Balanced, big and bold. Totally dig this brew.
