The
beer is hazy and dull gold, with a fluffy white foam on top. It has a
fragrance that is, at times, yeasty, tart, and briny, with sour apple
notes. The flavour proved significantly less tart than the nose, instead
featuring a somewhat unforeseen sweetness at the front end, with some
banana esters a bit more suited to a witbier. The back end was, as
expected, yeasty and dry.
While 3-Point wasn't
quite as effervescent as many saisons, it was rife with wild yeast,
giving homage to its Belgian-style roots. At 7%, there was more booze
than the average Ontarian take on the saison. I enjoyed this brew while I
was watching the Toronto Raptors kick the crap out of the Milwaukee
Bucks in game 5 of their playoff series, so I was predisposed to like
it, but I genuinely thought it was a good, not great, beer. Would
definitely buy again.
Rating: 7.5 out of 10.
