We believe that great beer is rooted to the people who make it and the place where it’s made. Intent on making great beer, brewers’ days here start early and end late in what is a long day of combining water, malt, hops, and yeast. While it’s easy to get lost in the work, the process and the brewery itself. the world just outside our doors is gorgeous, at times seemingly more breathtaking than any other place on earth. This saison is made in celebration of the insanely mesmerizing pink, orange, and azure Capitola sunsets that end our day. Like a far away place right in our backyard, Capitola Sunset inspires us to see beauty even when we aren’t looking for it. Sante!

From a cask at the brewery. Aroma has a moderately strong floral and herbal hop character that works well with the spicy phenolic notes from the yeast. Medium light fruitiness with pear, tropical fruit and red apple. Light graininess. Pours a cloudy yellow gold with a small white head of moderate thickness that recedes fairly quickly. Moderate lacing and faint legs. Flavor is similar to the aroma with a light sweet graininess and a touch of cracker character. Moderate ester character with a lot of pear, light tropical fruit and citrus. Hop notes are lighter but they still add a nice spicy herbal quality that works well with the phenolic pepper notes from the yeast. Moderate bitterness. Light to medium light tartness in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium low carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall a very enjoyable beer, especially if you like the spicy, herbal hops. Nice yeast character that works well with the hops. Light malt character compliments.

Tap@SARA. POurs hazy golden, small white head and nice lacing on the glass. Aroma is peppery, grass, some unusual fruitiness. Flavor is the same, not really complex in any way, but a simple clean saison. Medium body, refreshing, but nothing special.

Coriander, honey and musty oak on the nose. Bready as well. Minor sulphur taste, bread and biscuit. Very yeasty. Really great mouthfeel.
