Has anyone else brewed a saison and thought, "Wow. How does the yeast do it?"
I bottled a batch of saison on Monday and drank the half bottle I ended up with at the end. And I just can't believe a bunch of yeast can produce that sort of flavor and aroma. I've had saisons before, so I know how they can taste/smell. But I guess I never realized just how much of it can come from the yeast, rather than spices and other additions. Unbelievable! (I mean literally...if I knew nothing about brewing and someone told me there was nothing but grain, hops, water and yeast in the beer, I would not believe them).
I can't wait until this batch is carbed.
