Originating in the farmhouses of Wallonia in the French speaking region of Belgium, Saison (French, "season") was brewed for field workers during the harvest season. Red Rock is proud to present a modern version of this once endangered style of beer. Moderately hopped, this refreshing ale boasts a complex style of fruity aroma and flavor, some spiciness and a hint of tartness.

4 finger head with a moderate pour. Nice foamy head..great retention. Hazy yellow tan in color.
Quite aromatic. Some funk, spice, and pine. Scent of fresh cut hay.
Hop/bitter bite at first. Heads to funkiness and sweetness. Some spices come in next. Great yeasty flavor. Drys out a bit from there
Medium mouth feel ....maybe a bit thicker. Seems Fuller than a normal saison.
Great beer. My frist from Red Rock. Was staying in Sandy Utah and picked up a bottle.

[Original rating 2014-08-15] Pours clear gold with a thick white head. Aroma is musty straw, spice, a little citrus. Taste is spicy, peppery, lemon candy, bubblegum. Overall, not what I’ll reach for when I want a saison.

Pours a hazy straw color with a huge frothy head and plenty of carbonation. On the smell, it's like a combination of a Belgian spice, tart apple cider, and an earthy grassiness. The taste is quite similar - yeasty funkiness, with a mild tart apple and a bit of a floral character. Not getting much of the lemon that others have claimed here, definitely comes across as more of a green apple taste to me. Not as much hoppiness as others have said either, but my bottle is 6 months old (I don't know if this is a style that ages well or not!). The body is on the thin side, but that just makes it exceptionally drinkable. Haven't had much in this style, but this is delicious! Red Rock never fails to impress me.

First had on at Red Rock Brewpub, SLC, poured from 16.9-oz. bottle into goblet. Hoppier than traditional saisons, but traditionally-hopped rather than trendily dry-hopped.

A great pour, cloudy, hazy super light straw color. Lots going on here. First the funk! Love it! Citrus and slight banana then the spices hit you. Clove/coriander, peppery goodness and some sweet grasses and ya then there is the yeasty funk! Funk ya! Good beer!

Appearance: Pours like a Belgian, with a huge frothy head that squats atop the clear golden liquid; great stickage and impressive lacing
Smell: Chalky, with peppery yeast and a grassy, lemony character
Taste: The grassy, lemony tones dominate the front end, with a hint of Juicy Fruit sweetness underneath; in the middle, the chalky, peppery yeast protrudes; the finish is herbal and lemony
Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation
Overall: Not a bad stab at the style, though the lemony finish is a bit of a challenge
Thanks, benkuhns, for the opportunity
