A Note on This Beer

Missed the alert for Fair Isle Alexandra? Here’s another shot at it before it sells out!

The folks at Fair Isle opened in January 2020, and they’re already brewing up some of the best Wild Ales around! 

Hop Culture even put today’s Alexandra Saison at the very top of their 20 Best Beers to Drink in Spring 2021. They say its funky aroma and refreshing citrus and floral flavors make it “truly a special beer!”

To brew it, the crew used a special ingredient: locally foraged Fireweed — a beautiful, purple-pink plant that tastes like verdant, freshly brewed lemony-green citron tea!

Blended with local Skagit Valley malts, Crosby Farms hops, and in-house yeasts, every sip of this Saison is light and bright, with nuanced notes of freshly cut hay, sourdough, hints of citrus, and green tea. 

With its locally foraged flavor and lush drinkability, Alexandra is a delicious way to commence patio-sipping season. Just don’t sit on your chance to try this spring pick — we only have 200 bottles to share!

With Tavour, it's easy to beer it forward! Just head over to Tavour.com/gifts to send a gift box or gift card to the craft beer lover in your life. Cheers!

Grassy, mildly funky aroma, exceedingly light and pleasantly effervescent. drinks like a dry white wine (meant as a compliment), very crisp finish. Paired nicely with last night's roasted chicken.

Nice, very pleasant. I expected to be sour, but it wasn’t. I liked it. It was almost like Champaign

Not what I was expecting at all! When I say funky, I mean FUNKY. Never had a saison and the first drink had my lips puckering. As we kept drinking it got better and some of the hidden flavors started to compliment the sour.

Real nice and fun saison. Nice brett Belgian notes, flowery lemongrass sweetness, complex and delish.

COMPLEX Love the spice, coriander, farmhouse funk going on Semisweet like a not so sweet white wine. Some white grape and grain on the finish. Phenomenal session saison. Tastes like art and fresh west coast oceanline
