In the case of the Yellow Vibrations saison beer, this is the result of a [collaboration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hive-mind-x-rave-second-breakfast) with St. Louis, Missouri-based Perennial Artisan Ales, and the end result is truly phenomenal. This particular [saison beer incorporates buckwheat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quinoa-beer) and honey into the brewing process whilst using two highly rated varieties of hops, namely Callista and Hull Melon. The end result is a beverage with [hints of pineapple and pear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruit-beer1), not to mention notes of star anise and, perhaps unsurprisingly, honey. With a 5.8% ABV, this saison beer is approachable to drinkers of all stripes.
