Jeremy White, who works in the IT department at Samuel Adams, channeled his love of Belgian beers to create his Lemon Pepper Saison, a classic Belgian-style brew. Jeremy’s flavorful, refreshing and lighter-bodied beer is brewed with Grains of Paradise, an exotic tropical spice also found in Samuel Adams Summer Ale. The peppery flavor is complemented by a slightly sweet aroma with hints of vanilla and citrus, making this beer the perfect cool down to a hot summer day.

"Pours clear yellow with a two-finger white head... average. Aroma is slightly spicy with hints of citrus... interesting, but a more pronounced combination would have been better. Smooth on the pallete with very low carbonation. Citrus/spice flavor, a slightly stronger presence would have been better without being overpowering. All 'round nice. "

"Apr. 2010 - Golden hue with a white fluffy head with pretty good lacing. The aroma is indeed lemony and peppery. The flavor is syrupy and sweet with an artificial lemon flavoring that reminds me of some grocery store brand lemon water ice. Yeah, okay, some peppery flavor as well, but not really in a complimentary or good way. I’d say this is a bit of a train wreck."

"12oz bottle -
The idea of a lemon pepper saison really piques my interest, and the execution from Sam Adams was decent. Aroma was lightly citrusy, bubblegum, kinda musty actually with some earthy notes. Flavor had some light grainy sweetness. I was able to pick up some really light lemon pepper-like flavor, but only got this a few times. It was grainy, kinda grassy, musty, light dried fruit but kind of muted. Clean finish, light-medium carbonation. Golden-yellow body, slight haze with a small 1/2" white head. Mouthfeel was on the thin side.

"probably the coolest beer in the 2010 longshot sixer, but not the best. a tad too sweet for me. unique which was cool. citrus and spice, with a weird hint of black pepper at the end. worth a try."
