Paso Robles, California - Saison/Farmhouse Ale - 7.50% ABV - The Opal Saison poured an elegant golden straw color with an effervescent head that dissipates quickly. The nose featured aromas of spicy yeast, apricots, fresh pineapple, white pepper, and hints of cloves up front, with undertones of cloves and Pinot Gris Wine on the back end. The mouth was solid; flavors of lemon grass, citrus, kiwi, spicy yeast, and tart wine create a very palatable taste. Opal has a light bodied mouthfeel, with a clean and refreshing finish that quenched your thirst with each sip. I'm glad that Firestone began to bottle their Saison- it's definitely a great brew. Cheers! 8.9/10
