Black Oak Summer Saison - Marmalade Edition

Cask at Victory Cafe, Rating 2600. Beautiful glowing orange pour with medium white head. Amazing aroma - floral, yeast, spice, perfume, citrus - best smelling Canadian beer ever. Taste is superb - refreshing zest orange peel, lots of light spices and yeast, very very refreshing and falvourful. I really like the normal Summer Saison, but this was on another level. Perfect fresh cask condition. One of the best Canadian beers I have ever had.

By candlelight at Victory cafe on cask. Golden orange with a medium virginal White head. Aroma: thick marmalade, the type I had as a child, bold, stewed skins, thick and tarty. Flavour: Ginger, lots of Ginger! Orange skins, marmalade, pits, skins again, salt, vanilla, lemons, a nice long tangy skin flavour. Not sure how you did it Ken but well done!

[2311-20090712] Cask. Strong ginger spices and orange hops and general citrus aroma. Murky, medium orange body with a quick bubbly white head. Lovely ginger orange peel flavour. Medium body is bitter. Wonderful, not surprising it went quickly today.

Cask @ Victory Summer Fest. Aroma of orange, lemon, cloudy orange/yellow, teeny white head. Flavour is a full on citrus marriage. Medium bodied, very well balanced, luscious mouthfeel, terribly easy to drink. Superb!.

Cask at Victory Cafe
Appearance: mid golden amber haze with lighter white top.
Nose: Flowery rich hop aroma, nose with green hint of ginger and various citric touches at finish.
Flavor/Palate : clean mid bodied with lighter spirit. Meadow grass, citric lighter in character. Lemonade lie episode. Summer sided saison. Neat hop on top end. Hint of orange peel.

Cask at Victory Summer Fest - came a hazy orange colour with smallish head though that lasted for awhile. Really soft, spicy aroma, some clove and lots of citrus. Flavour very full, and the added citric elements do give this one a jammy, pithy feel, drier, spicier and slightly more woody than the original. Good show.

at Victory cask fest, this recipe works nicely on cask. Ken, head brewer, said it is their regular saison with added lemon peel, orange peel, and grapefruit peel. A light colour with a white head. An average mouthfeel. But a real marmalade taste.

Had on Cask at the beer fest, lovely orange color, some head. Lotsa citrus orange, and somewhat sweet and juicy. Flavor is big marmalade, which i liked great sweet lingering flavor but some hops to finish it off dry.
