Logsdon Farmhouse Ales - Seizoen
Lets start by saying the Wax dipped cap and neck are highly annoying. Who ever came up with useless concept should be shot!
The beer pours a Hazy light Orange in color with a huge amount of Carbonation! This is concerning since I've chilled the beer fairly cold. After waiting for the head to fall, a nice tight carbonation emerges with a nice heavy lace on the glass.
The Aroma is sexy and seductive with an elegant floral and perfumed bouquet. Amazing! OK... for those of you who hate the flowery adjectives and want real aroma descriptions, which everyone should expect! The Doc hates reviewers who use bullshit descriptors like Sexy and seductive, as well as, Uber Good, Sublime and other ridiculous nonsensical words that tell us NOTHING! Aroma profile is as follows:
Big scent of Orange peel, Meadow Foam Honey (Vanilla), lemon/coriander, Sugary toffee, spicy hops and hint of vanilla sweetness. Beautiful. Perfume. Fresh flowers.
This beer just keeps getting better. The malt and hops are well balanced with mid range mouth feel. Hints of sharp caramel malts, maybe the use of Cara-Vienna malt? Light Stone fruits come through.. Apricot? Juicy fruits with with lots of elegant herbal hop notes. A slight pepper prickle on the tongue follows the herbs from the hops. Some coriander spice and maybe some Belgian Candi sugar sweetness.
It finishes with slick oiliness on the tongue with a nice moderate spice bitterness left in the finish. Also, some vanilla and honey on palate.
This is an amazing beer, period. Constructed and executed with the skill and art of true artisan brewer. One of the finest and well made American Belgian beers I've ever tasted.
