ESB looks D-Lish!HB Saison with what I thought were oxidation issues. View attachment 666737
Cracked an ESB with known oxidation issues and decided the saison is phenolic. View attachment 666738

ESB looks D-Lish!
Too bad. I guess looks are deceiving. Just looking at it I can taste the English malts and mid level English hops.Ot tasted that way 6 months ago. Heck even 3 months ago. Really went south. One of my best recipes though.
@fourfarthing Golden Perch Saison. Really good looking orange tinged color, nice and clear. I don’t get oxidized. There are some phenols on the nose, but not too much. Nice prickly carbonation. I really like it. Going to the saison guidelines, I get some weight on the finish, which at first I thought was under attenuation. But as I drink it, I think it’s dry. Maybe some adjuncts or spices?
How do you compare the phenols in this to the ones in my saffron tripel (which I find to be too much). I’m wondering if it’s a function of being overly critical of your own beer. This was really good. As was the ESB.
