Dave's BrewFarm Saison Poire

Dave's BrewFarm Saison Poire.

Once opening the growler, you know what you're in for, the shadings are not subtle, the fruit isn't shy. Once in the glass, it's a cloudy, deep amber, nearing a form of orange.Slim white head, starts big, soon settles down to a short ring.

Aroma: pear and sugar are the largest offenders, in the sweetest way. Big, beautiful, out-sized aromatics. I can detect the yeast, be it French or Belgian, but it's a wonderful mix. So lovely.

Taste: jumps on board the palate with aplomb, full of fruity flavor. Little bit of hop bite, little touch of juicy malt, little bit of grit. Delicate pear flavor works well with this saison.

What does Farmer Dave tell us? "A BrewWife request. Pils and caramel 20 malts with Glacier and Crystal hops, and a late addition of Bartlett pear puree. 7.5% ABV."

It's tasty as heck, it is. Hops are meeting the malt and the fruit at just the right angle. Love it.
