I hesitated on giving it a thumbs down, because someone who doesn't mind some sweetness and estery tastes might appreciate it, even though it's far outside the style.Billhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09202318621724165312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828714141383213600.post-49478277805276235692009-07-24T09:53:24.809-07:002009-07-24T09:53:24.809-07:00Unfortunately, the Collaborator Saison is too sweet. It had a terminal gravity of 4 Plato as opposed to the original batch brewed several years ago which had a TG of 2 Plato. We heard from Widmer that the yeast kind of quit and wouldn't attenuate further even at very high temps. They only had about 2 weeks to ferment it this time, as opposed to the 5 weeks it took last time. Luckily they bumped the hops this go around from about 18 IBU to about 25 IBU's which does help, but there's no getting around the residual sweetness. Kind of a drag it, but what can you do?One of the people involved in Collaboratornoreply@blogger.com
