Upright Brewing Company / Dageraad Brewing Rhythm Section Saison at 5.0% ABV | 15 IBU (C$10.99 at Willow Park Wine & Spirits, 750 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 18-Nov-2017, reviewed 11-Dec-2017)
Appearance: hazy pale straw with two fat fingers of fluffy white head, good retention and moderate chunky lacing. (4/5) Aroma: cloves/coriander, Belgian yeast, earth. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, mild bitter, light tart. (7/10) Palate: medium-light body, lively carbonation, dry funky finish. (3/5)
A decent Saison, but not without its flaws: it’s excessively spicy, and although it’s dry and light-bodied, the carbonation is slightly high. As a result, it’s not as clean and refreshing as I like to see for the style, and ends up being a little bloating. Considering the two breweries involved in this collaboration, the overall result is slightly disappointing. (14/20)
