Terrapin Beer Co. Poivre Potion Saison at 9.3% ABV (US$8.99 at Knightly Spirits Williamsburg, 650 ml, best before 7-Dec-2016, acquired 1-May-2016, reviewed 5-May-2016)
Appearance: clear pale gold with one finger of rocky white head, good retention and moderate lacing. (4/5) Aroma: citrus, peppercorn, pale malt, floral, earthy. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter, mild spice. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, mildly warming spicy and funky finish. (4/5)
Not a bad saison. A little hard to tell whether the warming is from the peppercorn or the fairly high ABV, but I guess that constitutes pretty good integration. Definitely one from the odder side of the spectrum, but pleasant nonetheless. (15/20)
