a murky yeow pour with 3 fingers of fluffy white head and nice amounts of lacing. smells of pepper, lemongrass, mustard seed, bready, yeasty scents. oh wow that's a nice peppercorn dominant flavor! this tastes like st patricks day dinner! mustard seed, peppercorn, bready, and yeasty.. slightly bitter from a spicy grassy hop. a lovely beer in all honesty. delicious meal like body, medium, with high carbonation.. lots of really nice peppery flavor. one of the best saisons i've had. i really really like this one.

22 oz bottle.

Pours hazy gold with a two-plus inch head of stark white. A solid skim coat remains with a generous amount of tattered lacing for the duration of the glass.

Aromatics lead of with spice-studded fruits and bubblegum. Apples, bananas, cloves, peppercorns, and doughy yeast.

Light bodied with a crisp, fluffy mouthfeel.

Fresh, crackery malt dusted with peppercorns, cut grass, and a lemony twang on the palate. A mild warmth from the peppercorns builds and lingers.

Finishes with warming cracked peppers, zesty yeast, and mild funk.

Tasty brew. The peppercorns are not overdone and barley a trace of warmth.

Batch 21
(Served in a tulip glass)

A- This beer pours a slightly hazy golden yellow body with a creamy snow white head and a strong swirl of microbubbles.

S- Soft earthy yeast notes grow a bit as the beer opens but it is a pretty clean aroma.

T- The taste is dry pale malt that leads to a finish with a hint of soapy peppercorn that comes through as the it warms. The bitterness lingers and has a pithy taste to it as it opens.

M- The light mouthfeel has a soft scrubbing bubbles with no alcohol heat noticed.

O- The saison character is very soft and the peppercorn adds a dominating bite that grows a bit harsh as it opens up. This is a clean beer with not much flavor and is a bit hard to get through with the peppercorn bite.

I sampled several Pipeworks beers, and this was my favorite. The peppercorn flavor was an excellent accompaniment to the saison style. However, while I was initially floored by the taste, my appreciation faded as I finished the glass. Maybe it'd hold up better with food.

Shared by noodleuser. Thanks man!

The beer is hazy and golden yellow with a soft white head. The aroma brings fruity esters, earthy tones, yeast, bread dough, light spice. The peppercorns emerge more as the beer is allowed to warm. Light sweetness with freshly cut grass. Medium bodied with average carbonation. A tasty beer and solid example of the style.

Bottle: Poured a deep hazy golden hay color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of rustic malt with light sweet notes and some light peppery ester. Taste is also dominated by solid rustic malt with balanced sweetness level and light peppery notes with some good floral ester. Body is quite full with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Solid offering and I’m glad the pink pepper notes were not overly dominant as it would have been a shame to hide some of the nice characteristics of this beer.

from notes. bomber into a tulip, batch #21.

a - pours a murky amber color and forms a pinky of off white foam. after calming i get a thin film and thin, leggy lacing.

s - faint clove, pepper, toasted bread, light candi sugar, faint citrus effervescence.

t - light tart spiciness over lightly toasted bread. notes of lemon, pepper, clove, orange. has a faint mustiness to it and finishes crisp and lightly bitter. one of the more delicate, complex, and interesting beers that i have tried.

m - lighter in body with adequate carbonation. co2 profile is coarser than i prefer, adding to the spicy qualities in the taste.

o - the friend that i got this from described it as refreshing, and i'd say that's quite accurate. better than some other well known examples of the style. i'd like to get my hands on some more of this.

22 oz bomber, batch number 21, poured into a tulip glass.

A- Pours a hazy pale golden color. Even a careful pour produces a huge fluffy white head, which has very good retention and leaves lots of lacing.

S- Spicy peppercorn, which really does leave a bit of pepper aroma tingling in the back of your nose, also a considerable phenolic clove aroma and some fruit.

T- Similar to the nose, has lots of prominent crispy apple and pear flavors, as well as Belgian yeast and phenol, before a bit of spicy black pepper takes over towards the finish. The pepper is more subtle than I expected, with sweet and fruity saison flavors usually dominant.

M- Medium-bodied, good carbonation, smooth, slightly crisp feel, subtle warming alcohol.

O- A very enjoyable saison, the pepper makes a great complement to the fruity and yeasty flavors, definitely worth picking up.

22oz bottle into a tulip. Batch 21.

A: Pours a mellow orange-gold with a huge white head. Sticky lacing.

S: Sweet perfumy pale malt and farmhouse yeast, some cherry notes.

T: Light cake and stone fruit esters, slight peppery spiciness, vanilla. Palpable creamy, fruity notes from the peppercorns meld well with the soft esters.

M: Soft, moderate carbonation.

O: I really enjoyed this. The peppercorns are just right.
