Samuel Adams Harvest Saison. 6% abv. 25 IBU. Hazy honey color. Thick bubbly white head. Excellent retention and lace. Nose of light fruit, citrus, bread. Front taste of mild grapefruit, fruity hops, background pine. Aftertaste of bitter hops, citrus rind, herbal. Light-medium body. Mouthfeel is carby, light.
This is a good saison, with a touch more hop bite and a rounder citrus flavor than many others in its category. Recommended.
From the brewery:
"With every autumn comes the hope of a bountiful harvest and this distinctive take on a traditional saison delivers with a crop of barley, oats, rye, and wheat, a malty aroma and golden amber hue. The crisp taste of this Belgian style brew is a perfect match for a brisk fall day."
