Batch 101 Saison Tasting Notes

Cellar temp

Pours very clear, generous off white head, deep golden, head billowy, stays put, laces

Aroma light floral fragrance, touch of citrus, earthy hay, touch of malt

Mouthfeel more toothy than it looks, moderate body, but cleans up well with hop/carb combo

Flavor gentle floral hops up front, substantial horsy punch, malt bitterness follows and closes with hop cleansing

Finish slightly heavy hop bitterness, but cleanses nicely and malt balance is somewhat there.

Overall, OYL500 delivers again, nice overall beer, good hop selection, could reduce bittering a tad, not more than 5 ibus.
