Io Saison was named for one of Jupiter’s moons which, in turn, was named for the Princess Io from Greek mythology. Io Saison is a unique creation brewed with rose hips, rose petals and hibiscus giving this saison a character and color all its own.

This very vibrant, bright, rose-colored Saison is full of floral and spice notes mixed with hints of tartness from the foeder aging and hibiscus flowers. A beautiful piece of art presented in a glass.

Cheers and Mahalo Plenty!

Gremlin bottle share. Unsurprisingly floral aroma. Taste is more subtle. Bit of sweet maltiness, not quite sure but nice.

Draft at Craft Breww City. Pours a clear ruby with a finger of pink foam that dissipates quickly. Floral aromas with light cherry and vinegar notes. Tart on the palate but light and fairly easy drinking. Rose hip & cherry blossom finish with a lingering cherry vinegar finish. The nose is more acidic than the actual beer. --- Beer merged from original tick of Baudelaire Beer iO Saison on 08 May 2019 at 21:19 - Score: 7.

Thank you for sharing! Bomber sampled @ BBP Wanderlust 2018. Amber reddish, little head. Surprisingly sweet nose raspberry & strawberry jam with oak, fruit, brett & sugar. Taste is brett, red fruit jam, lots of it, oak, messy but nice. Bretty bit thinned out body & jam. Interesting nice.

Soft sour cherry yeast aroma on this thang but no layering nor complexity. Has a nice long lasting head and vaguely clear cherry body with wood colour notes. Flavour is a decent mix of malt and soury sweetness but no complexity to be had. Medium finish that does not do justice to it really. It's not bad but again missing that attention to detail that would propel it into the stratosphere.
