High & Mighty Pas de Dieux [Beer Review]

I have to admit I'm a bit of a sucker for saisons, but that's certainly not to say I love them all. When I come across a good one, though, it tends to be something I'll buy over and over. As a Summer/Fall seasonal I've been meaning to write up this beer for a while, but I still see it in stores here and there, so I'm writing this now as a heads up to you all: if you see it, buy it. The beer pours a slightly hazy pale straw color with a light fluffy head. The aroma is what really grabbed me, though, nice light pepper notes give way to light citrus and a fantastic earthy funk. Those who have had more traditional Belgian saisons will recognize said funk from beers like Saison Dupont.

The earthiness in the aroma translates very nicely to the flavor. Pas de Dieux is lightly peppery with a nice yeast character but no one flavor dominates. In fact the beer overall is a bit understated, which is one of the reasons I liked it so much. This is very accessible, I shared it with a number of people who had never tried a saison and all but one person liked it. It's a perfectly refreshing beer and something I'll be looking forward to again next year.
