Dave's BrewFarm Nelson Sauvin Single Hop Saison, 7.2 % ABV. Pale, Rye, and Ashburn Mild malts…and hopped with two additions of Nelson hops. Fermented with French saison yeast.
Lightly hazed, bright beautiful golden hue, head of long-lasting, lace-leaving ivory shade.
Aroma: Fruit forward nose, leading with the hops, all manner of citrus, leaning to the tropical, pineapple, mango, tangerine. Little bitterness, mostly soft and yeasty.
Taste: Here's where the bitterness hits, at least for a bit. Juicy-fruity hop blast , brace of bitterness, then soft and mild. Hop character mellows out, and the yeast character takes over, citrus-y, leon-y and a little touch of spice. Malt is crisp and cool. All together, it's delicious and downable.
Saisons are great food beers, and this one would be good with anything, I'd think. It's has plenty of flavor up front, will meet and match the flavors of most foods, and eases up a little on the end, finishing dry and spicy.
