I can understand this. Whilst I did not taste the metallic/bloody nature, I did enjoy this beer, as the simplicity was a nice change from what I have had as of late. Certainly there are much more complex and interesting beers, but I really enjoyed the Sauvin.
I guess it is because I never brewed with it though, and I still find it to be an interesting hop.
Had a couple of pints of my WBC saison last night and was really struggling to put my finger on the aroma, its been in the keg a few weeks now and is pouring bright as a button with a creamy head which sticks till the last glass, im getting a slight hint of vanilla and I think with a bit of nail polish? and some other things which I cant name?? The flavour and mouthfeel are dry and refreshing but overall this beer sorta just reminds me of a lager with a bit more of a funk aroma happening, alot of the malt character has just been stripped out by the yeast leaving quite a quaffable beer, but im sure it wont be a winner as its just too boring I think... If I lose i know what style ill be picking ;o)
Well its almost 4pm and im starting to think about what im going to drink tonight! In fact I might have to stop off at BOQ on the way home for a sneaky Epic ;o) Roll on 5:30!!!
