The Bruery Saison de Lente: 23

Taste: 7 Finish: 7 Visual: 5 Aroma: 4
Total: 23

A huge creamy head. It literally looks like whipped cream floating. The color is a medium golden/amber. Very cloudy. The aroma has vanilla, some citrus, banana, and bread. The flavor is very light, but it basically tastes like it smells. The huge head takes out much of the carbonation which makes it smooth and doesn't have a bit of bite that I want. I'll pour more slowly next time. The finish is also light but a bit of bitter hops lingers, as well as the yeast and citrus. And a hint of alcohol (6.5%). A very good brew for the warming weather. Drink the first one quickly to cool off. Drink the rest moderately and enjoy the flavor.
