Based on Jamil Zainasheff's Flanders Red Ale, I made this mack in May in SF with Greggle. This time, I actually had the Wyeast Roselare smack pack -- last time, we just used a White Labs Sour Mix.
However, we both started out with a Fermentis Safale US-05. Great stuff.
So after a week or so, I'll pitch the Roselare and then wait for, oh, a year.

Tasting Notes
Henny Penny Saison
Aroma is of typical belgian yeast fruity/spiciness.
Looks nice n yellow. Almost like bud.
Flavor is sweet, lil tangy, banana, peppery.
Good saison. Hoping the banana/fruitiness fades over time. Will have to hide afew from myself.
Ruiner IIPA
Awesome hoppy smell from the Centennials.
Nutty brown color.
Malty,well-balanced IIPA.
Similar to Ruination, but not as yellow.
Too great an IIPA from my brury. Wife-pleaser, fer sher.

I'll prolly rack a gallon or two onto some charred bourbon barrel chips I got at the AHA NHC.
Update: One gallon got 0.5 oz of the chips, one gallon got 1.0 oz chips, and 3 gallons got none. Bottle conditioned. Some are flat. Not sure which.

Serving
Must have a leak in the CO2 lines somewhere. Ran out already. Poopy.
So I bottled the Ruiner IIPA.
And I chucked out the Simcoe Small #30. Was gross. Prolly needed some crystal malt for second runnings.
