Tommyknocker Nice Saison

Pouring a color that can best be described as that of a ripe pineapple, with a two-finger amber head, Nice Saison has the sweet, mellow taste that is associated with good Saisons or as they're sometimes called, farmhouse ales. Unfiltered and hazy, there's a lot of different tastes and aromas swirling around in my perfect pint beer glass. I can detect some lemon on the back of the tongue, along with pineapple and tangerine. There's also some similarity to hefeweizens or dunkelweizens - with some below-the-radar ripe banana and bubble gum. I'm really going to have to get back to some of these Belgians and Saisons; I'd almost forgotten how good they were!
