Re: Saison with Rye and Roasted Wheat
This is nice. Saison character isn't super strong on the nose but it's present. Moreso in the palate. Super clean, a bit fruity and a bit spicy from the rye (and the hops I guess). Doesn't feel like 7.2% which would make this a dangerous beer to have on hand on a hot summer day.

Re: Saison with Rye and Roasted Wheat
Wow! What an amazing looking beer! I didnt shake the proteins up into the beer until the last dribble, so the beer was crystal clear with bubbles dancing from the bottom of the glass up. Nice brilliant white head lasted the whole way down. Fantastic job with the carbonation!
Something fruity on the nose. Subtle and i cant quite put a name to it. probably the hops as i dont know the caracteristics of Perle. Cookie and biscuit flavours with a light and bubbly mouthfeel.
Fantastic beer. Deceptively easy drinking and very refreshing.
How many volumes of CO2 did you calculate for? I wish i could get my lighter beers to carbonate like this!

Drinking this one this eve, Great beer Peter! A great saison to pick out all kinds of subtle flavors. I like that, nothing is over powering and there is lots going on it this beer
Hard to believe that it's 7.2% as well.

"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Re: Saison with Rye and Roasted Wheat
Very nice saison! Lots of great fermentation character, spicy phenolics. Also has an interesting malt flavour thats hard to describe (maybe roasty, ash like) that I'm assuming is the roasted wheat. It works though, thanks!

Re: Saison with Rye and Roasted Wheat
Thanks folks. I do find the malts make it a more intriguing saison, if not the best I've brewed. Gets better with age for sure.
