Appearance
The Saison pours a cloudy yellow gold and is topped by a finger-thick cap of loose, soapy foam that shows fair retention. Bits and pieces of sediment are observed swirling in the glass.

Aroma
The aroma is very faint and nearly indiscernible. However, hints of grain and yeast are detected.
Flavor
Its palate begins with a mild taste of sourdough bread that transitions to a soft bite of hoppy citrus, spiced with pepper, and rounding out with mellow fruity esters.

Mouthfeel
Its feel is crisp with a dry finish. Medium body and nearly high carbonation.
Overall
Its appearance fails to inspire and its aroma is barely noticeable. The palate is nice with its blend of hops, spices, and esters. And a peppy feel keeps it moving. Above The Clouds may only be a satisfactory Saison, but it’s still an enjoyable brew.
