Mountain Goat Saison

Tis the year of the saison, it seems. Where once there was hardly an Aussie take on the farmhouse style to be found outside Beechworth, the Otways and wherever Ron from Temple was laying his hat at any particular time, now it's all the rage, whether as the launch beer from newcomer La Sirí¨ne, a seasonal from Moo, in various forms from Murray's or now as a potential regular from Mountain Goat. Their first version leans to the fruity, citrusy end of things, although has been poured through the likes of coriander in the brewery's Randall too for a witbiery type effect. Word is a second batch may well feature a tweaked recipe; tis Melbourne after all (four saisons in one day, etc. No? OK, sorry.)
