Birds Fly South Ale Project Saison is Dead: Mosaic

Bright gold with lush foam and lace. Bright Noble-hop aroma, spicy and grassy, with Sprite-like lemon-lime notes and clean, bready malt. Soft smoke-and-spice phenolics. Soft, light, grainy flavor, with simple but pleasant herbal-grassy bitterness and notes of pepper and light fruit. Lively. Fairly bitter. Dry finish with lingering pepper-spice. Tastes like a well-made pilsner given an expressive fermentation. Very nice.

Zesty as hell—lemon-lime, white pepper, berries, wood, dry hay. Bright, crisp flavor; beautiful balance of light fruit, hints of pine and citrus, with a light spiciness that persists through the finish. Woody Brett notes in aftertaste. Pleasingly dry, with medium tartness balancing the limited residual malt. Light and refreshing despite the complexity, this is a fantastic beer.

Amazing aroma—huge pepper, citrus, and fresh tropical fruit grounded by damp wood-and-leather funk. _Brett_ orange juice. Bitterness fights with _Brett_ funk in the flavor, crowding out hops but leaving a citrus residue. Unbalanced toward _Brett_ and bitterness.
