Saison Athene
Split this bottle with BeerFMAndy. Poured into my pint glass the beer is a clear bright golden yellow. The stark white head is massive. Even with a careful pour it reaches at least three inches high. After some serious waiting the head recedes leaving an impressive webbing of lace. The aroma is super strong black pepper. After some warming I'm able to pick out a hint of banana and clove but not much else. I'm really surprised by this. The flavor is pretty much the same as the nose. Black pepper, clove, coriander, banana and light oranges. This is way to spicy for a saison. Medium to light body. Super dry finish. Loads of carbonation. Overall very dissapointing beer. I had high hopes for this one and was let down. Just too much spice.
