"Not Shawn's Saison" is a balanced, dry, crisp, and memorable beer, inspired by Belgian Farmhouse saisons. This Saison is bright as crystal and provides a sun-kissed straw / golden color. Given a little extra time in during the fermentation process to allow the free-rise ferment (no temperature control) to work it's magic Very subtle notes lemon and melon create refined aromas similar to a French-inspired Saison. Though subtle the Tardif noble hops harmonize with local Alba malt from Skagit Valley Malting. Flavors of white pepper, melon and tangy pear are prevalent upon first taste. This complex, smooth, and refreshing beer - leaves you wanting another! Let it warm a little in the glass to release even more of Not Shawn's special aromas and flavors. You'd never know you aren't in Alsace... "Sante!"
