Since it began with that outrageous 15% Hazy IPA, these seasonal mini-imperials in 250ml cans from Urbanaut have become one of my favorite series of beers. Saison is a style that scales up comfortably, getting up around the 8% mark in the strongest examples, but a full 10% is not something I’ve never encountered before. Big fruity esters adorn the nose, peach starburst lollies, delicate orange citrus, with coriander and white pepper adding some spice. Sweet pithy citrus ahead of gently warming spice and a hint of ginger on the palate. Remarkably medium-bodied considering the strength, with fairly low bitterness and a long complex finish. An excellent drop, and a fine demonstration of how adaptable and robust the saison style is.
