Good morning once again, and welcome back to Feature Beer Friday here at Bite And Booze. It's almost football season, which means a lot more #wakeywhiskey, but in the meantime there's always time for a beer or three. It's been a few minutes (or months) since I featured Tin Roof Brewing, but they have some pretty good stuff on tap and available in cans right now, so I thought it was the perfect time to feature one of their newest brews, the Dry-Hopped Saison. This beer is currently available in 12 oz. cans from the taproom.
Tin Roof's Dry-Hopped Saison |
This brew is Tin Roof's take on a traditional saison, then dry-hopped with Simcoe hops. The color is a slightly hazy pale yellow with the fizzy extra bubbly head that is typical of a saison. The initial aroma is powerful with piney resinous hops that hit me as soon as I crack the can open and get stronger as I pour. The taste is unmistakably hoppy, but that farmhouse funk is strong as well, with a hint of a sour note and plenty of yeasty esters that distinguish the saison style. It's only 5.5% abv which makes this a really easy drinker that's perfect for the hot rainy days we've been experiencing.
This certainly isn't the flashiest beer around, but it's another excellent release from the rejuvenated Tin Roof Brewing Company.
