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!

Bottled - tasted blind. An unclear golden beer with a lazing yellowish head. The aroma is sweet malty with strong notes of yeast as well as medium notes of fruit - citrus fruits and peaches. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of wheat, yeast, and fruit - especially citrus fruits, leading to a dry bitter and lemony finish. The body is good.

Cloudy and pale. Crazy, fruity and a little bit footy nose. Soft, spicy body, heavy on the yeast notes. Sweet, with a nice kiss in the finish of malt. Fairly simple overall.
