“North Coast Brewing Le Merle Saison

Belgian Farmhouse Style Ale

From California’s North Coast by way of Flanders. One of the richest, deepest, most complex noses in all beerdom – a cliff-dive into smoke, brimstone and burning coke fires. You could thumb Roget’s Thesaurus to shreds looking for adjectives to describe the palate, which offer up estery sun-dried white fruit, subtle spice cake, sweet bubblegum, bitter arugula, pear tart…and so much more. Superb.”
