Thumbprint Saison

Thumbprint Series Saison, New Glarus Brewing Company, New Glarus, WI
(Saison, Rated 94)

When New Glarus brews a beer, they do it right! This saison is part of their Thumbprint Series, which they intended to be limited release, small batch beers. Some of them, however, became so popular that they had to keep bringing them back. Back to this saison... excellent citrus aromas with both sweet and sour through the nose. The taste is exactly how I expect a farmhouse ale to be, fruity, a little bit of pepper, some sweetness, spices, and a little bit of hops. This beer is no surprise coming from a brewery that was recently ranked in the Top 10 Most Influential Craft Breweries in America. The coolest thing about this ranking is that they still only distribute in Wisconsin. My apologies to my friends who don't live here.
