Dageraad Brewing Tous Les Jours – Saison at 3.2% ABV (C$6.35 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 8-Jun-2024, acquired 23-Aug-2024, reviewed 5-Sep-2024)
Appearance: slightly hazy pale straw with one fat finger of loose white head diminishing rapidly to a thin ring, no lacing. (3/5) Aroma: citrus zest, Belgian esters, grass, light funk. (8/10) Taste: moderate-low sweet, moderate-low bitter, light funky tart. (8/10) Palate: light body, lively carbonation, dry short crisp finish. (4/5)
“Ingredients: Malted barley, malted wheat, oats, wheat, hallertau tradition, tettnanger, saaz, brettanomyces, saccharomyces, water” That’s a nice change of pace, interesting without being aggressive (or, alternatively, light without being boring). They describe this as a table beer “that won’t interfere with work”, but that’s pretty much the definition of Saison in my book, so that’s how I’m classifying it. Fairly dry and attenuated, this disappears as soon as it’s swallowed, leaving you ready for the next sip. You could literally drink this all day long, and in fact I wouldn’t mind doing so. (16/20)
This will be my 5,930th unique Untappd check-in.
