Anchorage Brewing Company / Gigantic Brewing Company An Eternity (Batch #2) – Saison at 8% ABV (C$14.25 at Collective, 375 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 26-Mar-2021, reviewed 7-Apr-2021)
Appearance: clear (except for the lees) ruby red with a short-lived pale pink head, no lacing. (3/5) Aroma: tart berries and pome, bready yeast, oak, balsamic, dry hay funk. (8/10) Taste: moderate-high tart, moderate sweet, low bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate-lively carbonation, dry tart finish. (4/5)
Sort of similar to Anchorage’s Love Buzz, in that it’s a lot more like a Wild or Mixed Fermentation than a Saison, and also an enjoyable slow sipper that misses the mark on just about every metric for Saison. No idea what a Marionberry is, but this is dominated by tart field berries and sour green apples. (16/20)
