Hinterland Saison

Hinterland beers are by the Green Bay Brewing Company of Green Bay, Wisconsin.  This 6.3% ABV beer is a saison, or Franco-Belgian farmhouse style ale.

The beer pours a hazy, yet glowing, honey golden in color, with a hint of orange.  There is tiny sediment particles in the beer.  There is an inch of pure white foam.  The aroma is yeasty, very floral, citrus, on a pillowy soft bed of toasted malt.  The taste follows the aromas, the most floral beer I have ever had, it is like drinking a marigold.  This beer is very flavorful.  The finish is moderately bitter and quite dry.  The floral is so strong and spicy that the aftertaste gets a note of incense.  I appreciate that this is yeasty without being full of banana (not my favorite yeast note).
