Trinity Brewing Company Mr. Saison Saison Vieille Saison at 5.6% ABV (C$9.99 at Oak & Vine, 375 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 27-Mar-2017, reviewed 14-Jun-2017)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with two fingers of growing rocky white head, excellent retention and heavy lacing. (5/5) Aroma: mild, apples and pears, stone fruit, crackery malt, grassy hay, light earthy funk. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, mild bitter and spice, light funky tart. (7/10) Medium-light body, lively to moderate carbonation, dry lightly spicy and funky finish. (4/5)
Not bad at all. A little heavy on the fruit character, which is emphasized by the slight sweetness. All in all, a bit like a sweetish Belgian-style Tripel – but not unpleasant, by any means. (15/20)
7.5/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
