Beer Brief #8 - Honeymoon Saison

Brewery - Summit Brewing Co., Saint Paul, Minnesota (created by brewer Sam Doniach)

Beer - Unchained Batch 07 - Honeymoon Saison

Style - Saison brewed with Minnesota honey

ABV - 5.3%

IBU - 40

Color - Orangish gold and cloudy with an eggshell head

Aroma - Lemon, herbal, earthy undertones

Flavor - Honey, stone fruit, spice, strong metallic bitterness

Verdict - Good beer, but not my favorite saison. It has appropriate flavors and aromas, but the bitterness is almost too aggressive for the style, in my opinion. I'd still have a couple, though.
