COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Flamboyant, highly technical, and a bit unbalanced, like the wrestler himself, this brettanomyces-aged raspberry saison will send you to the mat. A variety of light malts blend to create a slightly spicy, intricate malt body that was dried out with farmhouse saison yeast in primary fermentation before being moved to our wild room for blending with raspberry puree and three strains of brettanomyces. The wild yeast create a secondary fermentation with all the raspberry sugars to yield a dry, tart, fruity, farmy treat that is sure to please hardcore beer geeks and lovers of girly-drinks alike.

Color naranja, ligeramente rosado, con capa de espuma blanca de dos dedos de grosor y retención decente. Carbonatación media. Textura acuosa y ligeramente chispeante. Aroma a frambuesa y malta caramelizada, ligeros recuerdos herbales. Algo básico pero placentero. Frambuesa bien integrada y reconocible. En boca es algo mundanal. Frambuesa reconocible, de nuevo, en contraposición a otras cervezas del estilo, en las que solo reconozco fruto rojo genérico. Algo de malta caramelizada. Toques herbales. Brett muy difuso. Pero... ¿Dónde está la acidez? ¿Y el Brett? Es como si estuviera probando algo distinto de lo que relata la descripción. Por no tener no tiene siquiera una acidez ligera. Tampoco es un sirope de frambuesa, pero desde luego le sobra dulzor y le falta entusiasmo. Tendría problemas a la hora de considerarla Saison, también hay que decirlo. No está mal pero esperaba algo muy distinto.

750 ml bottle
This unlabeled bottle has been in the cellar since before Against the Grain was distributing widely outside the Louisville market. I should have cracked it open sooner - the profile does everything you would expect without too much flair. It is not quite on par with the best Against the Grain releases yet it still does the things that a sour-ish saison should these days.

Aroma / Appearance - A bronze semitransparent body glimmers idly. The calm presence belies the depth and intensity of the nose. The blend of raspberry pie, tart vinegar, and malt compare favorably to other sours. It mixes the idea of a saison with the heart of a Flemish sour brown.

Flavor / Palate - Malt, raspberries, and tart fill the mouth. By now it is a trace thin as if slowly fading into a mundane bottle of alcohol. Even so it remains very drinkable though if another batch comes through northeastern Ohio I would grab it to see how it fares fresh. Once again Against the Grain hits out of the local ballpark (Slugger Field).

CaptainTilven (202) - Nancy, FRANCE - AUG 28, 2015
Orange copper, luminous while cloudy; white foam, fine, bubbles of varied sizes. Smells of rapsberry, peach, yeast, nuts. Refreshing, not sweet, expressive bretts; final bitterness that is strong and structured. Outstanding with spicy meals.

Prezent urodzinowy - trochę czekał na swoją kolejkę, więc jedziemy z koksem. W aromacie piękna, świeżutka malina, skórka pomarańczy, trochę saisonowej przyprawowości i lekka nuta dzikusów. Bardziej kiszona niż stajniana. Lekko zróżowione złoto z ładną pianą, wysycenie średnie w kierunku wysokiego. W smaku bardzo wytrawne, z lekko słodkim muśnięciem malin i o dziwo średnią goryczką (ale nie wydaje mi się chmielowa). Bardzo przyjemny owocowy posmak na podniebieniu, niemniej jednak spodziewałem się odrobinę więcej po aromacie. Dobry, uczciwy, przekombinowany saison ;)

mateuszk (2769) - Poznan, POLAND - JUL 22, 2015
Hazy orange, orange-ish head. In aroma bretts and raspberries (meidum level). In taste tart raspberries, bretts. Medium sour finish. Tastes like raspberry Orval :), well done, very nice, easy drinking beer.

Bottle split a few ways. Pour is milky orangish with lots of yeast and a light head. Nose is raspberries and some funk. Taste is weird, plastic, raspberries and yoghurt.
