Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Dogfish Head - Victory - Stone
Saison du Buff. I’ve been enjoying the
collaboration beers that Stone Brewing Company has been churning out.
Read about the beer on the Stone Brewing Company blog (
here).
Or just watch the video:
Appearance: Pours a lovely pale golden color with a big
foamy head and wonderful lacing.
Aroma: Wow! Herbs
galore – sage, thyme and rosemary are huge in the nose. Citrus hop notes and a distinct Belgian yeast
scent also present.
Taste: Herbs and spices at the front followed by a nice malt
balance and citrus hop finish. The rosemary, sage and thyme flavors are big,
but not what I expected. I love it.
Overall: Impressive.
The Dogfish Head - Victory - Stone collaboration Saison du Buff is crisp
and clean and probably perfect with a meal (I didn’t drink this with a
meal). Although I completely enjoyed
this 7.7% ABV beverage I don’t know how often I’d put one in the beer
fridge. I think this might be something
I’d want to have on hand with a meal in mind, but I’m glad I tried it and would
recommend that you do as well. Who
knows, maybe you’ll want this to be YOUR go to beer.
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
