Upright Seven (#7)

Seven is our most aromatic beer. The brewery’s saison yeast is fully expressed in the aroma with lots of fruitiness while the hops provide light spice notes. The beer has some heft mid-palette but finishes dry with a lightly lingering bitterness. Seven is satisfying on its own but pairs great with a variety of typically fragrant cuisines such as Thai or Indian.

3.8 Draft pour to a tulip at the Taphouse. Pours a clear golden color with a thin patchy head. Berry like aroma with some spice. Apple, berry, spice, and semi plastic flavor. Very unique. Lingering berry forever. Overall a solid saison.

3.7 Pours a dark golden amber color with big fluffy head. Aromas of spice, grass, and a touch of barnyard. Flavor of spicy rye, grassy, yeasty, with a touch of sweetness.

4.6 Seven is an odd Saison, for sure. With pale, pils, and munich malts, it almost has a lager-like taste.Yet, the Saison yeast makes a very full presence in the glass with a fair amount of funk and fruitiness. My favorite of Seven’s feature was its spiciness. The hops are sticky and herbal, while the yeast propels some clove and coriander esters. The bottle’s suggestion to pair this with spicy South Asian cuisine sounds spot-on. Hell, I might need to make that happen.

2.8 Bottle/Fest. A- Bland, floral. A- Gold color, hazy liquid, white head. T- Flora, soap, lemon. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, floral finish. O- Meh. It wasn’t the saison that I expected from these guys. Pretty boring.

2.9 Saison bastante ligera Especiada y floral Equilibrada aunque no dice mucho mas

3.6 Bottle poured a hazed orange-gold hue w/ enormous lasting white head and sticky lacing. Bold aromas of sweet citrus, clover, and floral notes. Initial flavor is moderate sweet w/ a bold bitter finish. Tastes are honey, tangerine pith, grass, garlic, malt, and straw. Highly carbonated.
