Clipper City Heavy Seas Red Sky At Night

Brewed by Clipper City Brewing Co.
Style: Saison
Baltimore, Maryland USA

Pours a pale gold with a thin white head. Light fruits on the nose. Light bodied mouth. Banana, bubblegum, grapefruit, lemon, apple, and orange on the tounge. A good beer. I have only had it on draft. I drink it for free so I am NOT complaining.

Single bottle from Total Wine, notched best before August 2007. Pours an orange-amber like color with a bit of cloudyness. Aroma is a bit yeasty and a touch of fruit. Taste is really nice with a sharp finish. Interesting.

Pale, slightly cloudy orange..a little white foam and some nice bubbles....smells of yeast, citrus, and some spice...light with a nice bulk to the body...some spice and orange flavor...good, but wouldn’t want it all the time

Red Sky at Night is the color of an overripe pear with a soft white head that mostly diminishes, leaving a woodgrain pattern. There are many white particles all through the glass. The lacing is OK. The aroma is fruity and spicy: banana, clove, gewurztraminer, possibly numeg, dough, and cider. It is medium bodied and crisp. The carbonation is sparse and sharp. It leaves the mouth a touch slick. It’s a well-blended flavor, lightly bitter, tart and acidic. It _does_ remind me of a gewurtztraminer, in fact. All of the aromas are incorporated in the flavor. The end of the taste is of starchy apple and a spot of butter-- almost salty. It’s quite tasty. I wish I had a 750 mL bottle of this.

12oz bottle. gold with smallish white head. aroma of yeast, cherry and banana. sweet candy and spice taste. medium body. taste like cough medicine. way too sweet for me.

Bottle. From my Secrect Santa. Pleasant sourish scent on the nose, and a thin white head. Light golden in colour and alot less sour tasting than the initila scent would have suggested. Was looking forward to that citric/sourness. A light but pleasent brew, would like to try on tap.

Pours crystal clear gold with a tiny white head. Aroma is fruity with citrus hints. Flavor is citrus with maybe some coriander. Tastes much like a witte, but with the addition of grassy hop flavors. 8% abv ? You would never know it by the taste as there is no noticeable alcohol presence. A very good drinking beer. Light and refreshing.

Pours a pale golden with a minimal but lasting white head. Aroma is citrus, yeast and spice. Smooth clean and crisp for a saison. Has all the clove, banana and citrus notes that you’d expect, but not as sweet as some. A dryer, fresher example of the style, yet flavorful and well balanced.
