Great day in the morning! I loved the stuff Central State (now, sadly departed) brewed with Brett yeast, but for some reason, the Saison style has never done much for me—despite springing from similar yeast DNA. Looking back at my posts, I apparently never commented on something called Croc Spurs that Philip brewed for Black Circle. That was a lovely Saison with lemon and black pepper notes, as well as a pleasantly crisp finish. This Blind Owl offering was pleasantly boozy for the style (6.8%) and had a very nice Belgian yeast profile that was lively without quite being funky. This is the best thing I’ve had at Blind Owl so far, and I suspect that I will be re-thinking the Saison style from here on out, too.
