Commercial Description:
Inspired by the Saison style of Belgian brewing, this ale is meant to be light bodied and refreshing, but flavorful. Look for a brilliant straw color, light body, and a complex aroma with hints of orange peal and a subtle spiciness. Our brewer uses fresh orange peal added directly to the fermenter to create a unique aroma, and a special strain of Belgian trappist brewer's yeast to add complexity to this ale.

on tap-pours a disappearing white head and gold color. Aroma is clove, barnyard, medium/light fruit, yeast, some malt. Taste is lots of clove (too much for me), barnyard, medium/light fruit, yeast, some malt, peppery. Good effervescence.

07.12.05 Tap at brewpub. Orangish gold with big white head that fades to nil. Light and tropical. Some spice on nose. Lots of spice on palate, maybe more than the malt can handle. Lots of citrus and some pineapple. Wet finish.
