Year of New Beer: Sneak Attack Saison, 21st Amendment Brewery (CA)

Written By: Dion on 01/16/2014

On the nose, some of the style traits are there-yeasty funk and peppery spice, with a touch of cardamom. Unfortunately, the balance is thrown off by an overwhelming lemon zest/seltzer water component. Things are virtually duplicated on the tongue as the effervescence dominates with a salty, medicinal quality. I'm certainly not the saison expert, but this one could use some tweaking. On a positive note, the can art is outstanding, as is usually the case with this brewery.
