Pays du Soleil by Saint Somewhere Brewing Company
The sunshine state was showing off its namesake today. Sun, high clouds, heat (luckily the humidity wasn’t too overbearing)…what did all of that mean? Why a trip to the pool to bake you silly sausages…don’t worry though…I lubed up with plenty ‘o sunblock.
Beer #130 is another Florida brew by Saint Somewhere Brewing Company, Pay du Soleil. Todays beer is a Saison/Farmhouse Ale with an ABV of 8%.
I’m in Florida and I had a bear of a time finding a palm tree low enough to take todays photo of the beer with. After much searching I found one. A nice cloudy amber with a huge creamy head that took forever to settle down looked back at me from the glass. The nose was very fruity and yeasty. Smelled good, my mouth was anticipating the taste. Hmm…tart was my first thought. I got a bit of apple, maybe a bit of grape, peach…mostly fruit in the taste. There was a slight alcohol finish to this. It was nice and dry. It had a medium body with tight tongue tingling carbonation (say that 10 times fast). Not too bad drinkability wise…maybe a tad too much alcohol presence to enjoy too many of these in a sitting.
This was a solid brew…delicious! Yummy in my tummy! Alas…I only have one more Florida beer…but that is for tomorrow. Cheers from Florida!
