What the brewer says

“Part 2 of a story told with our good friends at Blackberry Farm Brewery is a mixed-culture saison made with North Carolina barley and spelt, hopped with Saphir hops, and aged with Brettanomyces and Lactobacillus.”

What our panel thought

Aroma: “Good, moderate lemon tartness. Nice light funk. A bit of Pilsner malt sulfur note over a faint hint of earthy hops. Subtle.” Flavor: “Good flavor of tart lemon without the bracing acidity of others in the category. Light fruity hops. Very dry finish. Subtle funk. Good malt character that doesn’t get lost under the fruit notes from the fermentation and hops. Light lemon crispness with the right balance of complexity and acidity.” Overall: “A very pleasant beer. Clean, bright, lemon-forward with a touch of kiwi and lychee in the background and a moderate body, reminiscent of a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. I’d match it with a light dinner such as a chicken breast.”
