Appearance : If it wasn’t for the head, you’d swear you were looking at unfiltered apple cider. Opaque with a hint of deep yellow gold.

Yes, yes, yes, “saison” is the French word for season. But this is not the answer I am looking for. Instead of 10th grade French classes, let’s look at the other topic of desire when some of us were sixteen years old – beer

Today is essentially a “reference post” kinda day, as I need to start gathering notes and ideas into one centralized location (for reasons soon to be made apparent). If your looking for food pontification, it’s best if you come back at a latter day
