Commercial Description:
For centuries Venetians lightened the dark of winter with an elaborate upending of social order. In donning a disguise for Carnevale, for one night a pauper could become a prince, a learned man a fool, a proper lady a passionate lover...and no one would be the wiser. This beer is our tribute to that grand celebration of the unexpected. A Saison-style blonde ale with American hops and... well, thats all you really need to know. Now put on your mask, raise your glass, and toast to the magic of a winter’s night mystery. Le Carnevale!

On tap at lost abbey. Pours a hazy golden color, forthy white head. Lemon peel, grass, citrus, a small amount of funk, bread, and light hops. Easy drinking and a well done saison.

Thanks to TheCheeseMan for this extra! Pours a straw-golden color with a medium frothy white head which fades quickly and leaves a few streaks of bubbly lacing. Aroma is yeast funk, spice, lemon citrus hops. Taste is much the same; some nice yeastiness and spice, but is highlighted by some nice lemon citrus up front. Pretty solid.

Thanks to my bro for hooking this up! Pours a hazy golden color with thin white head. Aroma is of lemongrass, light yeast funk, spice and light fruit. Taste has a bit of a light sourness and funk with lemon, spice and other fruit. Solid saison.

750ml, hazy blond pour with a white head. Spicy and yeasty forward saison. Citrus and hops, balanced and refreshing. Oranges and meyer lemon. Heavy citrus flavor, clean finish with yeast, hops, and light honey. Light mushroom/musty quality. Very nice saison.

Sample from a bottle in the VIP tent at WBF Raleigh on 5/2/09. Cloudy gold. Big bubblegum, sour fruit, lemon, horse blanket, cut grass and yeast in the nose. Taste is more Belgian yeast, bubblegum notes, tart fruits, funky flavors and earth notes. Body was light, bubbly and refreshing. Ends with more fruit and yeast notes along with horse blanket and earth. Yummy!

2009 bottle. Pours a slightly hazy bright glowing orange with a small fine white froth. Fruity citrus aroma, some tangerines, hops, spices, yeast and definitely some funk which I’m pretty sure is brett as it smells like Iron. Nice sweet fruity upfront citrus flavor that quickly dries out, citrus, spice, yeast, light hops, candied wheat, funky brett, dried blood. Long coriander aftertaste, light bitterness. This is excellent! Off-dry. Medium/light bodied with fluffy larger carbonation, slightly sticky.

Very cloudy pale orange, yellow color. Pine a mix of pineapple and orange juice. Clingy small white head. Aroma of fruits, cherries and light citrus. Taste is bitter and perhaps a touch peppery?
