Batch 108 Saison Tasting Notes

Cellar temp

Pours clear gold color, healthy light tan head that drops back, some big bubbles

Aroma thick malt with esters, wet hay behind, slight brightness

Mouthfeel crisp and dry, some body noticeable, but pretty clean

Flavor, big pleasant malt upfront, subtle yeast phenolics and esters blended nicely, solid balanced  bitterness, very subtle earthy barny at the end.

Finish clean with hop bitterness, pretty crisp.

Overall, very good beer.  OYL500 is morphing a bit, more into a belgian than a saison yeast.  Still, good for another use in this application: delicious stuff.
