Stillwater Artisanal As Follows

Stillwater Artisanal As Follows is a Belgian Strong Pale Ale… wait what? What is this? A beer from Stillwater that isn’t a Saison? This poured with a huge fluffy head and was in fact very carbonated in the mouth-feel, which is making this drink like a saison. Still, nice try at making a not saison Stillwater. I get a lot of peppery spiciness at first and then my palate takes a 180 degree turn. The beer is suddenly fruity with a bit of apricot and white grape. This is the most “white wine like” Stillwater beer I’ve had, although the strong carbonation nips that correlation in the bud pretty quickly. It’s not surprising, but this is yet another impressive Stillwater creation!
