Overall: 9.0 - Historically, Saisons were brewed to keep Belgian farm workers happy and hydrated during the long, hot summer days. Although I am not working hard on the farm, or really working hard at all right now sitting on my porch, I am feeling both hydrated and happy with this local choice. YBC's Saison is high in alcohol content but the citrus and sugar lend themselves to a crisp and light drinking experience. If you enjoy a Belgian-style Pale Ale, you may also enjoy this Saison as well. Besides the labels features on of my favorite symbols, the fleur de lis. This is one of YBC's few beers on their seasonal line, you have until July to give it a go. Let's a raise to lazy days on the porch and appreciating the slow down of the ever-approaching summer time. Slainte!

Hi Devesh, thanks for your comment! Unfortunately, I am not a homebrewer myself, but I have friends and family members who are. It certainly is a long process that requires certain conditions and equipment in order to produce perfect beer. You may want to consider doing internet searches for step by step instructions. One great resource of information is this website - http://beeradvocate.com/articles/317. I hope you find what you are looking for and thank you for reading my blog! Please share with others!
