Council Brewing Co. Béatitude Prickly Pear Tart Saison – Saison at 4.5% ABV (C$19.49 at Willow Park Wine & Spirits, 750 ml, packaged on 26-Aug-2016, acquired 18-Nov-2017, reviewed 30-Jan-2022)
Appearance: clear pale straw with a short fizzy white head diminishing rapidly to nothing, no lacing. (3/5) Aroma: doughy yeast, tropical fruit, melon, light earthy funk. (8/10) Taste: moderate-high tart, moderate sweet, low bitter, light funk. (8/10) Palate: light body, lively carbonation, short tart finish. (4/5)
I wouldn’t know a prickly pear if it bit me, and as usual this is dominated by homebrew-like baker’s yeast. However, the more important way that this is very much like the rest of their range is that it’s flavourful and has maintained its character during extended cellaring. Tart and tropical fruit dominant, with a lively carbonation, making for an eminently refreshing drink. (16/20)
This will be my 5,184th unique Untappd check-in.
