New Level Brewing Saisons In The Abyss Born of Fire #2 – Saison at 6.5% ABV (C$5.35 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 21-Sep-2020, acquired 26-Mar-2021, reviewed 28-Mar-2021)
Appearance: slightly hazy pale gold with one finger of loose white head, good retention and minimal spotty lacing. (3/5) Aroma: complex, vinous oak, pineapple, horse blanket, lemon zest, stone fruit. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter, light tart. (8/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, drying funky lightly tart finish. (4/5)
Not gonna lie: I’m probably more impressed with the Bob’s Burgers punniness of the name than anything else, except maybe the Slayer reference itself, because, come on, motherfucking Slayer. That aside, this is interesting, with a lot (maybe a little too much?) going on, with distinct contributions from the oak, Brett, and adjunct fruits. (15/20)
