I try to enjoy my days off, especially in the Summer. I fertilized and watered my entire garden, pruned damaged leaves/branches off of all my veggies, treated my wife to brunch, walked around Leesburg, formulated a NEIPA recipe, went to my LHBS, brewed my NEIPA recipe, kegged an HB Hefeweizen, grilled 5 cornish hens, and did all of my laundry...while drinking beer the whole day.t0mato said:
My last can of this one. Good stuff! Hopefully they release it again.
I snapped this right after I pulled dinner off of the grill. Good beer!
Well, turns out I don't like "Saisons." Not this one anyway. BLECH! Couldn't get past the funky aftertaste, and I usually like Two Roads stuff. Their "Lil' Heaven" Session IPA and "Road 2 Ruin" Double IPAs are both really good. Dunno. This one just ain't for me
My buddy gave me one today because, ironically, I'm out of work on Worker's Comp

Dude, I don't think I could have described that any better if you paid me to try, haha! So freakin' nasty.The Hot Pepper said:
They've got a lot of balls describing the flavor like this:

"Passion fruit, pineapple, mangoes....."?!?!
Yeah, maybe after the goat shit it out
Zima is back in case you haven't heard. Go get you some PookieÂ
The flavor in a saison is almost completely yeast driven. I'm a huge fan of the barnyard funk flavor, but many people aren't. I've found that many of my friends that don't like saisons also don't like any Belgian beers brewed with a yeast forward flavor, which is essentially almost all Belgian beer.
Ah, Hoegaarden is a Belgian wit. Not as yeast forward as most Belgian beers, plus the addition of coriander and bitter orange peel really overtakes most of the yeasty flavor. I can brew a pretty mean Belgian wit.MikeUSMC said:
German hefeweizens have that nice banana/clove aspect to them from the yeast, but aren't nearly as yeast forward as most standard Belgian brews .
the sour was great man, perfect for this hot weather.Thegreenchilemonster said:

Last time I had it I really enjoyed the passion, not so much this time, wasn't a fan of the broat either but the mango thief was great. thanks again,cheers.
Glad you digged the sour. I'll probably brew another sour very soon, once I bottle up one of my other sours. I have blackberry sour fermented with Brett/Lacto/Pedio/Saison Sacc that is tasting very nice right now. I just need to clean up some bottles, and bottle it.FreeportBum said:
It's interesting because I actually liked the passion fruit one more this batch than the last batch. The mango is still my favorite out of all of them. There is a peach one as well, that I still haven't been able to get my hands on.
An HB Belgian Wit, and the last pic of this glass I have been using for years. I broke the glass like a dumbass about 10 minutes after taking this pic. I have drank many a good beer from it. At least a great home brew was the last beer that it held...
Thanks! I agree that it's a pretty good looking beer.tctenten said:
