Perennial Saison des Rêves.
5.2% ABV, Perennial Artisan Ales, St. Louis, MO.
Picking up this 4-pack was a no-brainer. I can trust Perennial with Belgians. It was merely $10.50. And the icing is the collaboration with Brasserie de la Senne. Or is it the cherry on top? Never mind, let’s drink it....
Slightly hazed, brilliant yellow tone, large and lovely snowy white head.
In the nose: citrus and spice, Belgian yeast, barnyard funk and bubblegum. Maybe a pinch of banana.
In the mouth: a touch of tart at the front, followed by fruit, ending crisp and dry. Belgian sweetness lingers. Lean bodied, clean, delicious. Spicy notes hang on through the finish. Refreshing, delightful, and pretty much yum a dum dum.
Saison des Rêves is the 2nd installment of our 10th Anniversary Collaboration series. Conceived over a series of emails with our new friend and idol Yvan de Baets we landed upon a spelt heavy saison recipe that speaks true to both of our outlooks on Saison. Snappy bitterness is coupled with a massive wave of melon and freshly cut wet grass from a dry hop of Huell Melon. Finally we naturally carbonated Saison des Rêves in cans and kegs for ultimate crushability. Drinking this beer reminds us of the freshly cut grass after a light rain of cantaloupe chunks, the first roll of a soccer ball over the morning dew on a chilly spring Midwest morning, and the version of He’s Gone from the 10/15/76 show in LA.
