Spring Street Saison is a Belgian style farmhouse ale. The Saison is our flagship brew that helped spawn the formation of Avondale Brewing Co. Our Saison is brewed with our proprietary house yeast, a 4 malt blend and traditional Slovenian hops. Our unique brewing process along with the combination of the finest ingredients creates a thirst quenching brew with no equal. True to style this unfiltered ale has a coppery golden color and rich malty backbone that creates a unique farmhouse brew. Flavors burst with tropical fruit that combine with hints of spicy and peppery notes that are derived from our house yeast. One sip and you will fall in love.

L: Very clear straw color with a frothy white head
S: Apple, crackers, hints of citrus & spice
T: Light and fruity taste. Sweet fruit and white bread/crackers is balanced by a green apple tartness (with hints of lemon) Slightly bitter finish with lemon and herbal notes.
F: Light to medium-light body, crisp carbonation, slightly creamy, astringent, and warm.

It is eminently drinkable. Not as robust as others I have had in the style, but its lightness does not feel lacking.

Im sampling a cold 12 oz can poured into a snifter. Ive had this beer in my fridge for several months and finally getting to it.
The beer pours a bright clear crystal gold color with a bleached white fizzy head of 1 cm. this foam sticks around as a sturdy surface layer and leaves dense lattice when I swirl. the glass has several active streams of carbonation rising to the surface.
the aroma is a little bit of husky grain, some musty blanket, a bit of lemon and some herbal tea. I also get a little black pepper in the back.
First sip reveals a light body with minimal carbonation and a slight watery feel. The beer physical traits are a a little thin for me, but not terrible.
Flavor is some sweet malt with a bit of bready note some husky grain, again lemon and a good hit of spicy yeast. I also get the black pepper on the finish, and attribute this to yeast not booze, which sometimes comes off as peppery for me. Finish is very dry on the palate.
No real hop note anywhere and this beer drinks very easy.
Not a bad saison, glad to have tried this one.

12oz can at share. Clear golden pour, spotty head. Light yeasty aroma. Taste is bready with more yeasty flavors and light savory notes. Mildly sweet and dry.

poured from a 12 oz can almost no head, a very abrupt aroma of fruit, cherry fig and grape. the taste follows the nose with a dull peppery flavor as the beer warms the taste tends to very with some spice and an increase in alcohol presencethis beer lacked demention and had too much of a wine taste. as saisans go this is no match for lunatic or tank seven.

L-Pours a flat looking beer. I don't see any head other than a slight lacy bubbling around my tulip glass.
S-This beer has a great bready and sweet aroma right off the bat. Definitely toned down, and definitely rewarding right off the bat. A sour phenolic aroma is present right up front, followed by very ripe fruit (very lively). Earthy undertones follow. Smells great.
T-Slight sweet ripe fruit, bready phenolic flavors, and sugary malt. This saison is toned down but very nice.
F- Surprisingly high carbonation definitely dry but not as dry as I would like.
O-Liked this saison a lot. Well made, as expected, and definitely drinkable. A very good introductory saison.

More thanks go out to richj1970 for this tasty beer. From 12 oz. can

Pours a cloudy-with-fine-yeast gold topped by a crown of white foam that threatens to overtop the glass. Lace stays lashed to glass as head retreats to skim and ring.

What a sweet, floral med. strength aroma at first! Perfumey notes are joined immediately by over ripe fruit funk, lemon-limey citrus, doughy yeast sweet and tart. A very alluring bouquet.

Nice med. strength taste that is all the flavors of the nose joined by light peppery spice. It's a well balanced and bright mix of flavor, delicious.

Very soft on palate, low carb. despite the look, med. viscosity, very refreshing, with a finish that features lingering clean lemon and pepper.

Excellent saison that hits a homerun in the key requirements of the style, that it be hearty and refreshing. Recommended, sure to please.
