Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Calicraft Brewing Company Chez
Panisse Fresh Hop Ale.
From the Calicraft Brewing Company website: “A
collaboration with Chez Panisse Café for its 33rd anniversary, Farmhouse Ale
celebrates the sustainable farm. Infused with organic anise hyssop, lemon
verbena blossom, and Meyer lemon leaf from Cannard Farm, this delicate, saison
ale explodes with spring flavors. A peppery, citrus finish lingers in
invitation to slow down.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
a dark amber color with a foamy off-white head and great lacing.
Aroma: Citrus, pine,
sweet caramel and bready malts, grassy, tropical and floral.
Taste: Citrus,
grassy and tropical hops, caramel, crystal and bready malts.
Overall: Crisp
and clean, Calicraft Brewing Company Chez Panisse Fresh Hop Ale is refreshing. At 5.4% ABV I found this beer to be very
enjoyable as are all of Calicraft Brewing Company offerings.
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
