Saison Du Buff

The Beer Stats:

• Beer Name: Saison Du Buff

• Brewery: Victory Brewing Company

• Style: Saison

• ABV: 6.8%

• IBU:?

• Pour Color: A slightly off colored gold slighly hazy.

      This was an interesting pour to a beer. Not quite a golden color and just a light haze to the beer. Still it was almost see through. The head was there for a few seconds. Quite a spicey scent off this one. Parsley is the main smell off the top of the glass with a slight citrus tone. That citrus tone comes through so much more in the taste. The spicey taste continue too. The yeast comes through very strong on taste also. This is an extremely unique saison, a style of beer I usually don't like. This one is delicious though.
      A great range of flavor and a delicious taste. However, this one I couldn't see myself drinking everyday. Cooking with it though could go on for months. The flavors of this one are so far ranging and could make a lot of dishes taste great. Chicken soaked in this, and a few extra spices over night, would be great on the grill.

      This one has a nice smell of fruit and a nice frothy head. Seemed extremely fizzy on the pour too. Face lifts it to me and... What the hell? I ordered a beer Face! This this is something completely different. This one drinks like a nice easy going wine. The grape taste is there, and having been soaked in a few wines, I can tell you this beer has that nice wine taste. The malts must be what makes the wine not have the after taste on the follicles you get from some wines. I really think this strange brew is comparable to some semi-sweet whites. 
      My local place, Custom Brewcrafters, makes a beer from 3 brothers brewery Riesling grapes that has a sort of flavor like this one. There's though is only a light beer so that the Riesling shines. This beer really is an amazing beer. I have tasted nothing like it and it really makes me re-evaluate wine in general. On top of that call it Noble Rot... Just amazing.
