Just opened one last night followed by 05/14 Arthur and latest Convivial. Nordic is really singing w/ 3 months in the bottle. Fantasticly tart !

At my tasting on Friday or Thursday I'm going to do a mini Arthur vertical with everyone. Curious to see how 1 year old arthur tastes in the bottle.

Agreed, Nordic is fantastic. Reminds me a lot of last year's Anna in tartness and mouthfeel.

Anyone there now ?

 

[parkingphi]

So how's Dorothy?

I'll be up there with MKtheGeneral tomorrow!

So maybe 2 - 3 months out, hopefully. Any word on Ann? It's listed before Sue on the Upcoming Releases page.

The order for those listings really doesn't have any bearing on when they get released... but yes, I would assume Sue gets released after Art and Ann given the time of bottling.

Dumb noob question:

I heard that Anna, Arthur, Florence, etc see oak now too. Are Ann/Art/Flora/etc barrel-aged, while Arthur and Anna are foudre-aged? Or are those stainless? Basically, what's the difference between them?

Yes. The difference is: wine barrels, extended aging, more surface area contact with wood.

and a little more....

before they had the foudres, the regular saisons saw virgin oak barrels for a short time (weeks I believe).

Ann/Art/Flora are all wine barrel aged for an extended time, like Frank said.

Can't think of one off the top of my head,

 

[averagjoe3]

yeah not sure ive had something similar to that style before

 

[ncaudle]

it's a dry hopped saison, right? Crooked Stave and Tired Hands both make that style

Could it be compared to E. minus the barrel aging process? Similar to Florence/Flora Arthur/Art etc...

 

[Juan Gueuzeman]

SS#7 was really amazing. I enjoyed it more than HT and other famous DIPAs. I'm curious now about others in the series, from people who had more than one iteration.

 

[WillRunForBeer1]

I've tried 4, 5 and 6. So far, 4 is my favorite, but they are all fantastic: soft and juicy up front with just enough bitterness in the finish to balance. Hope to get up there while 7 is still on.

Could it be compared to E. minus the barrel aging process? Similar to Florence/Flora Arthur/Art etc...

Yes, they are very similar minus the wine barrel treatment E. gets. So I guess it shouldn't have been a surprise to me that I didn't enjoy Dorothy at all. The nose is nice, but I find it super bitter and unbalanced, really hard to drink. Which is exactly how I felt about the bottle of E. from the 2nd batch that I had a little over a year ago. This new batch of E. (b3) also wasn't a favorite of mine when fresh, but it has definitely developed in the bottle and I really enjoyed the last one I drank.

Perhaps its just not a style I enjoy. I guess that just means more Dorothy for you guys. You're welcome.

SS 7 is really awesome. My ranking is 4>7>5>>>>6>>>>>>>>123. I think they are all good beers just some aren't worth the hassle.

 

[axeman91821]

I'll walk to HF if I have to next time SS 4 is on, I need to try that beer.
