Style: Belgian Saison
Alcohol by volume (ABV): 7.70%

Appearance - Pours hazy medium gold; slightly clouded, highly effervescent body, generating more than two fingers of puffy, pillowy white head comprised of big, soapy bubbles. It falls apart slowly.

Aroma - Smell like a Heft with notes of ripe bananas ,bready malts, clover , pepper and coriander.

Taste - Citrusy hints of orange peel and lemon zest rise to the occasion by mid-sip, leading into a spicy, yeasty tail end that includes suggestions of clove, pepper and coriander; clove spice and wheat grain sweetness wrap up the sip before a dry aftertaste.

Overall it is Medium in body, with assertive, prickly carbonation at first, though it does settle down quite a bit throughout the course of the glass, becoming more smooth and soft. While not a factor within the flavour itself, the alcohol does warm the throat/chest just a tad as you sip your way into this one. A solid Belgian Saison.

Saison is French for "season". These beers originated in the French-speaking region of Belgium known as Wallonia. This light to medium-bodied style was brewed in the winter and was intended to be a refreshing drink for the farm workers.
