Art Beer Suomi 2023: Kallio Apple Saison, Finland
3.1
The dusk of Friday means the dawn of the weekend. Hence, something artistic. An apple saison. Sounds... ehh... well, let's see. The yellow beer descends from the clouds. The carbonation behaves reservedly. A white head fails to exceed half a finger, and its small bubbles burst quickly to wellnigh zero. Green apple is powerful in the scent. It is supposed to be there, just to clarify that it's not an off-flavor. In addition, waxed apple peel, orange peel, lemon zest, elderflower and whitepepper season the olfactory set nicely. The supportive wheat malt is astonishingly fresh and soft. Sips fresh. Apple is ample. Green rather than red. Not waxy but certainly with bitter-leaning peel. Lemon pulp and wheat malt big time. The freshness of the latter shrinks a bit. Or actually somewhat more than a bit. It's because the growing yeast occupies more radio frequency on the gustatory airwaves. The body is light. Could have been bigger... The end is fruity, apple and lemon dominate. That's it. I sit here tasting the aftertaste; perfect pictures of every sip so far; I've known it from the start, this is not my work of beer art. The mouthfeel is light, zesty, relatively fresh although there's a tiny musty touch to it, as well. Interestingly autumnal. Somewhat dry and drying. Interesting but not a banger.
