Floral hop scents put a perfumy spin on this pale straw brew’s crackery malt bouquet. On the tongue, sugary malts sweeten a bread crust base, while floral hops and shy black pepper spice quietly ornament the flavor; hop bitterness takes hold mid-sip to temper the growing sweetness. A dry finish guides this quaffable brew to its conclusion while floral hops last long after the swallow. This saison lacks the style’s signature spiciness, but its enticing malt presence excels.
