As a mediocre photographer, I was excited to review Thickets and Thorns from Vis Major Brewing Co because of its beautiful color. The sun was bright, and as I started to take the photos, the color depending on the sun was this deep crimson to a more brilliant red. To top it off, no matter the angle, I was getting lots of reflections!
If you were to reflect on this raspberry Saison, the berry aroma is an excellent attention grabber. The tartness of the raspberry and the dryness of this Saison have cider and wine characteristics. I think that is why Mrs. Joe has enjoyed this one and only beer in her travels with me!
The finish has those peppery notes you will find in the Saison style. Thickets and Thorns is a unique beer that is quite the sipper coming in at 9.1% ABV!
Take time to seek sanctuary at Vis Major Brewing to enjoy their wide variety of craft beer in an extremely inviting atmosphere.
Cheers!
