Dan samples the food-friendly Lemongrass Saison from Liquid Intrusion Company care of an intro from Greg and Doug of Brothers In Booze.

Liquid Intrusion Brewing Company Lemongrass Saison

STYLE: Saison (brewed with lemongrass and Sorachi Ace hops)ABV: 7.0%IBU: N/AAVAILABILITY: 12-Ounce cans, DraftStats above taken from the brewery’s can, website, and Untappd.

Appearance

Medium yellow/almost light orange in color with a beautiful, tight-bubbled, white head.

Aroma

One of the most fragrant beers in a while; lemongrass is clearly leading the charge here.

Taste

Classic/dry saison notes via yeast esters coupled with the lemongrass. The Sorachi Ace addition adds to a pleasant bitterness that helps pair with food.

Mouthfeel

The weight, mouthfeel, and carbonation on this (again) makes a great food pairing.

Overall

Because of the lemongrass element, Thai food pairing is an obvious choice; any curry, Drunken Noodles, and anything with a decent amount of spice. Other seafood dishes would be a good choice as well.

Many thanks to Greg and Doug from Brothers In Booze for the virtual introduction!

Cheers and remember:

Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.
