Feral Brewing Brewpub series – Ace of Base Imperial India Saison

Made with Sorachi hops, which I love – Their Golden Ace Belgian Pale Ale, which used Sorachi, was one of the first beers to really turn me on to Hops [ the others being Sierra Nevadas Torpedo and Little Creatures Pale Ale]

This is…Its definitely a Saison, just amped up a fair bit. Smells fruity-yeasty, peppery, crushed ants, a bit of citrus…Its a cloudy, light yellow colour, Big head on pouring and zero to minimal lacing. A light fizz for carbonation.

The taste, again peppery, strong saison yeast character, not much of the citrusy-lemony Sorachi I love, but its in there at a low level, and it definitely comes through in the hops bitterness.

This reminds me a lot of the first Saison I tried to make, looks like I didnt fuck up at all if this is a saleable beer haha.

Its NOT BAD, but I really wish it was closer to the classic Golden Ace, what a great beer that was. If you like Saisons, this will give you more Saison in one bottle than you may have ever wanted.

Thanks to the guys at International Beer Shop for keeping a 4 pack aside for me.
