Here's my first saison. It's 5 lbs pale ale, and 3 lbs unmalted wheat berres hopped with Sorachi Ace and Crystal, dry hopped with Cascades. Been in the bottle 2 weeks and it tastes delicious. Oh yeah, fermented with 3711 French Saison.
Happiness and Sadness, taken with my Nikon D40 and a little retouch in the GIMP.

Nice, how did the Sorachi/Crystal play out? I'm using that combo in an American Wheat this weekend.

It's effing amazing. A little harsh if you chill it too cold, but in the high 40s t's really smooth. A bit of lemon lysol, an unidentifiable herbal thing, and a smooth, dry, grainy finish.

See lemon lysol has me scared. I just want a very subtle touch of lemon... I'm wondering if I should wimp out. Was going to use .5 oz. at flameout.

I don't mean lemon lysol in a bad way, if you can wrap your head around that. It's a note of flavor in a beer with more layers than I can really get my head around. You'll be happy with them, I promise.

It's a saison too remember, so a lot of the flavors are exaggerated due to the wicked dry finish.

Here's my first lager. It's an 8.2% Double Pilsner. It cleared up nicely with some gelatin.
