Tonight's beer: 3 Stars Peppercorn Saison
Pretty substantial earthy-grassy bitterness leans against pale bread and pale fruits—white grapes, pears, apples, nectarines, peaches; peppercorns and bright spice (coriander?) dance around the interstices. Dries out vanishingly quickly.
Light-bodied and highly carbonated. A little vague stickiness but mostly clean, deist out so hard it practically disappears; cleansing and very refreshing.
I think this is the first beer I've had from these folks, at least from a bottle; it's very, *very* nice, and fits superbly with what other American brewers are brewing as farmhouse ales. Not all that boozy (it's a good table-strength beer) but impressively intense and complex; beautifully balanced and integrated. Drinkable as hell, and a beer that *really* wants to be served with food. Delicious.
