Name: Monkey Bizz-Ness
Brewer: Big Boss Brewery (Raleigh, NC)
Classification: Saison
Alcohol: 9%
Thoughts: They'rrrrrrreeee Back! This is my first repeat brewery, but that's because Big Boss makes some damn good beers! This time I have one of their seasonal brews, Monkey Bizz-Ness, on tap (pun intended). I have had a few Saison's on here before, but this has been the most traditional of the bunch. Big Boss doesn't make these extremely mind-expanding beers, they make traditional style beers really, really well! This follows that line of thinking and drinking. Monkey Bizz-Ness pours a pale gold with a slightly frothy head. It has the spicy smell from the Belgian yeast and hints of cane sugar and citrus fruits. The taste of this traditional Saison is sweet and spicy upfront with some alcohol and dryness on the back end. This is just a well made beer with great ingredients (they use local products as much as possible) and a thorough knowledge of brewing. It is a little strong for Saisons but damn it is good.
Rating: 86/100
