New Glarus Thumbprint Saison
New Glarus Thumbprint Saison.
Hazy, yellow look, enormous, gorgeous head, milky white and long lasting.
Aroma: super-fresh. citrus zest and plenty of spice. Love it.
Taste: soft and smooth, with flavors of banana and lemon. Banana in a saison? Well, it's there. Light spice, lush malt, some amount of wheat malt character. This isn't exactly what I look for in a saison, but I find myself liking it nonetheless. Tasty, good-drinking, nicety, nice, nice.
Let's look at what They say on the paper: "Saison, the original Farmhouse Ale, was the refreshing invention of thirsty Belgian farmers. Wisconsin pale barleys brewed with Grains of Paradise in this bright new copper hued ale. Deceptively approachable, it's complicated fermentation incorporates a blend of three Belgian yeast strains and is fully bottle conditioned. Fresh hops snap with lemon zest and peppery ginger notes, leaden to an enigmatic personality. Enjoy, as the sassy Wisconsin Saison is at it's best thirst quenching drinkability now."
