Kettle and Cask

My first and successfull Saison

2008-12-09 4:47pm

Two yeasts brought this beer to life. One to ferment the peaches and the other to finish it all off. The aroma is slightly esthery, citrusy and malty. A little hop presence in the aroma is lightly floral. The amber orange color is in contrast to a light white head. I'd say that the head wasn't as lacy as expected, but there are lively small and large bubbles present in the head with a fairly good head retention. The sweet, esthery, fruity and malty flavor has a nice Belgian sourness, but not to sour and not very hoppy. Despite the addition of the coriander and cracked black pepper, the flavor is not peppery or hot at all. There is no diacetyl flavor. The peach sweetness in present from the start and the flavor of the peaches comes out after several sips. A medium-high mouth feel with a tangy high carbonation sparkles. It feels creamy with a dry tart finish.
