Boulevard Collaboration #4 – Saison

Boulevard Collaboration #4 – Saison is a post fermentation blend of two separate batches of beer brewed by brew-masters Steven Pauwels and Phil Leinhart.

This poured with a slightly surprising dark caramel color. The aroma is bready and sweet with a hint of spices. The taste follows that path as well with the addition of some sweet fruitiness. A touch of citrus and spice, orange peel. I felt there was a bit too much alcohol heat coming into the taste, but it didn’t detract from my experience overall.

Although not quite as good as either Saison-Brett or Tank Seven, this is a tasty sasion that I’m really glad I got a chance to try on draft.
