Day #33- Yazoo's Rye Saison

Ladies and Gents. It's been more than a month! I'm actually doing this thing. I'm legitimately tasting beers, really tasting them, every day, and reviewing them.

Some nights I have not posted, sometimes because of internet problems, sometimes because of circumstances, but I have reviewed the beers! This weekend has been one of those times. I will post two beers tomorrow.

In any case, it's time for another local review! The Rye Saison. A spring awakening. Yes, I know its summer, but let us reminisce to a time when it was not 95 degrees with a blanket covering humidity.

A distinctive gold pour. A sweet smelling nectar. The taste is light, tart, and sweet. A dash of white pepper taste rolls across my tongue as I lick the back of my teeth. Rye. A distinctive bitter grain added to this complex beer almost complementing the hops.

A strange distinction amongst other beers, Yazoo Rye Saison's complexity abounds with a sweet introduction and tempers the taste buds with a remarkably spicy yet smooth swallow.

Magic? No. However, a craftsman has honed this beer for genuine beer lovers everywhere.

Brett's ratings are out of 100.

*Please understand that ratings on this scale have been influenced by my scholastic history of grading. A grade below 75 is not good, it is less than average. A beer below 60 is bad. Beers in the 90s are in the upper-echelon of beers on this earth, and above 95- divinely inspired.*

As with all connoisseurs, personal taste affects all ratings. The best ratings tend to lean towards his two different biases; 1) Well-crafted heavy Stouts and 2) Lagers made with a simple perfection.

Please understand that just because Brett gives a beer a high rating doesn't mean you may think it is good. Only understand that if he gives it a high rating it is because most people who have a good taste in beer would do the same.
