I hate to be a style nazi on something like a saison, but I thought it was very big in all directions: too much body, too much spicing, and too bitter. It doesn't surprise me that those breweries want to do a beer like that, but it just didn't encompass the subtlety or complexity, or drinkability really, that I look for in a good saison. Judged as just a beer, I'd say it was pretty good and I would finish a glass, but not ask for another one. It's by far not the worst overspiced saison I've tried from a pro brewery.
really?!!!
I only hassle because I know you, but what have you had that is spiced more heavy handed?
Maybe I got a weird bottle or something ( stone version) but this stuff only seems good for marinating chicken in...
this is the first commercial beer I've poured out in 4 years
