Sour Apple Saison - Release # 3 Brewed on October 27, 2010. This is a gorgeous saison, it has a nice mild sourness with a slight kick of apple and cinnamon. It has a very dry finish form the classic sainson yeast that gives it a little earthy, pepery and spiciness. This beer is fantastic for aging in a climate controlled temperature.
The Malts Weyermann Pilsner is the base malt on this beer followed by Briess Flaked Oats and Muntons Wheat Malt.
The Hops/Spices Saaz, Tettnang, ground Ginger, Cardamom, Cinnamon, Cloves, Nutmeg, Anise Seed, Grains of Paradise, and Coriander.
ABV 8.0%

"Aroma is faint. Pours light pale fuzzy yellow with a low low white head. Mouth has a nice sour hit with a bit of bubbly carbonation. Flavor is apple juice and beer. Was great with dinner."

[2] Review by Beav from Fort Collins, CO, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (4/1/2011 12:59:03 AM)
"22oz bottle, release #3. Pours a very light hazy yellow with an extremely fizzy/active white head that bubbles and retains for a while.
The aroma is sweet malts and apple juice with some saison-type spices and a bit of funk.
The flavor is sweet apple juice balanced by some yeast funk with a dry slightly bitter champagne like finish. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with sharp carbonation.
Overall, an interesting blend of apple juice and a saison. The saison qualities balance out the sweet apple surprisingly well. It's still a bit on the sweet side for me though."
