A Note on This Beer

PSA: According to the North American Blueberry Council, blueberry consumption is on the rise. 

And, after a sumptuous sip of today’s Saison Violette, we think Allagash is largely responsible for the increase! 

Every tart taste tangoes with the tongue, while flirtatious waves of sweet-juice tempt another swig. In fact, there’s so much plump n’drippy berry flavor, we can’t help but wonder what Allagash’s saison secret is! 

Turns out Saison Violette is the deliciously delectable product of the wild lowbush blueberry — a delicacy in and of itself! 

And, according to the berry council, lowbush blueberries are known to have a more intense, sweet, and succulent flavor than cultivated blueberries. 

So, while we can’t fly you to Maine to silence those berry cravings, we can bring some succulent Sainson Violette right to your doorstep. Don’t call the Blueberry Council on us, we’re here to share our stash! 

*Allagash was one of the first to introduce authentic, spontaneously fermented Farmhouse Ales to the US

"Brewed with blueberries" . I was so, so excited for this. Completely disappointed. No hint of taste or smell of blueberries. Regretting that I bought multiple cans.

Was expecting a stronger flavor, turned out light and not tart at all. Although not quite what was expected I still enjoyed the beer.

Not terrible but not my favorite. Was very excited to try this, but it was certainly not what was expected. Funky, dry, and a bit yeasty. Fruity notes are there but it’s not as prominent as expected. It’s different and not a run of the mill saison. My husband enjoyed it the more he drank it, but I did not particularly care for it.

I wanted to really like this one. It wasn't bad but not as fruit forward as one would expect. Still that does not make it bad, but it just didn't have as much complexity as you might hope for.

Not a huge saison fan to begin with, but this needed more fruit note. This was too much ‘horse blanket’ and farm.

A little saison funk at first, some dryness, a brief suggestion of fruit in there somewhere, then it fades into a hint of wild complexity. Overall a light and refreshing effervescent sipper. Probably would go good with a charcuterie plate. If they put it in a bottle they could charge more for it.

I had high hopes for this because I’ve had some amazing Allagash IPA’s but this was undrinkable! Gave the second can away and they tossed it too lol

Very disappointing. None of the fruit notes you’d expect. I wasn’t expecting anything sweet but I wasn’t expecting culo juice. Big miss for me.

Little to none blueberry notes, more of a hoppy farmhouse ale versus a saison

If I could give this beer 0 stars I would. I’m not trying to say anything bad about Allagash, I just did not like it at all. I did not get any blueberry flavor at all, it had somewhat of a bad bitter taste to me and I usually like bitter beers but not this one. In my opinion it didn’t have that good saison funk it was an unpleasant funk after taste that I couldn’t get behind. From the color and even smell it seemed like it would be good and for me it was not. I noticed a few others said similar things and others seemed to like it so maybe this is just not one for me. Still have 2 cans now that I don’t want. Even gave one to my brother to try and he said how bad can it be, then he took a sip and said that is not good lol.
