Clipper City Heavy Seas Red Sky At Night

12oz bottle thanks to Acknud. This one pours out a hazy gold topped with a white head. A very nice aroma of sweet spice. Tast of spice yeast and fruit. A pretty good brew

On tap at the Oldsmar Tap House on 4/18/08. Pours a clear golden (like a pilsner) with a thin white head. Minimal lacing on glass. Aroma: some spice, some fruit, maybe hints of honey. Slightly sour tasting with a hint of complex cheeses. Slightly sweet throughout with a somewhat thin, watery finish.

Bottle from Whole Foods Charlottesville. Pours a golden straw color with a medium head. Good lacing and retention. Big malt aroma with Belgian yeast, red apple and spice. Taste has very little sourness or bitterness, and is almost cloyingly sweet.

Gold with a small white head. Big Belgian yeast nose with some banana and clove. Sweet fruitiness coupled with that slight saison tartness and some spice. Very light for 8%. Very nice.

Drinkable...not a very well done saison compared to others...Not bad though...very subdued flavor aroma etc...

12oz. Poured light orange with no head until I poured right down the middle to get a small white head that quickly settled. Nose is subdued, some candied cherry and banana but not much else. Body is similar, with the slightest notion of spice but nothing too unruly, hides the alcohol well. Moderate carbonation and the finish is palate coating cherry cough syrup. A good try at a style that I’m guessing is not easy to brew.

Light amber pour with a creamy white head. Sweet, fruity aroma. Candied peach and citrus flavors over a nice yeasty backdrop. The higher ABV is almost totally undetectable. Very pleasant drinking.

Bottle from acknud! Thanks! Nose of cloves, nutmeg, maybe a hint of corriander, some light yeastiness, and some banana esters; lightly hazy yellow with a medium pale yellow head; flavor has spiciness, bananas, light sweetness, and a tart hint!
