Saison de Deux Médecine
- slightly over-carbonated with slow gush if not poured quickly
- muddy yellow with fizzt white head
- mainly yarrow with some sweetness of honey, dry malt and a touch of ginger/orange peel; really nice nose overall
- not overly earthy, but plenty of yarrow
- more sweetness could help here I think against the yarrow
- not much spice, but get some ginger
- yeast flavors are not present, which is a disappointment
- maybe a less “neutral” Belgian yeast next time?
- maybe the yarrow trumps the yeast?
- not exactly what I was going for, but far from the disaster I had feared at times
The Curtain Wit
- clear, light orange with bubbly white head to the edges
- ginger, coriander, oranges and a husky sweetness
- thin texture and fruity mouthfeel
- very balanced and drinkable
- a little bready too with lemons and grass
- nice, sticky fruity texture
Rêve de Wallonia
- light orange with slight haze; pale gold against the light; white head to the edges
- husky nose with lemons and faint spice
- drinks quite dry and a little flavorless at first
- mild yeasty texture with dry spice, some sweet malt and sugar
- lots of body and sweetness
- certainly not the typical saison that I was going for (Dupont)
- yeast notes are mild and finish is not as dry
- husky is an overall characteristic that I think is from the fermentation struggles and some of the specialty malts
- I want more grassy notes
- Two Medicine is a much more cohesive and rounded beer to me
Heavy Things
- nicely carbonated with thin tan head and ruby red color
- nutty caramel, fruity sweet aromas
- not as rich or meaty or sweet as I’d like
- thin body with sweet, dry malt; some candy flavors with dried fruit and brown sugar
- need more body for sure (as with all my beers)
- maybe too fruity and would like some slight smoke
- has a “cheap” candy sweetness to it
