@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.

I actually think I picked up some extra phenols rather than oxidation and today was a bad bottle as the last one I had seemed great. Would say the ESB went south the last month or two in a bad way, but you likely have a point on self criticism.
