Sutter Buttes Butte House Saison (8% ABV / 30 IBUs): This beer pours a clear light gold color with white foam that leaves a nice lace.  Butte House Saison has an earthy hay aroma and smells like Belgian yeast was used in brewing.  The beer is medium to full-bodied with mild carbonation.  Butte House Saison has a delicious sweet malt flavor combined with earthy hay/straw.  The beer has a dry finish with mild hop bitterness and very mild peppery spice.  The alcohol is integrated well.  I don’t think I would mistake this for a Belgian-made Saison, but Butte House Saison is very good and very drinkable.
