It’s an Americanized (hoppy) Saison. It’s brewed with generous amounts of Amarillo, Crystal and Glacier hops (none added during the boil by the way- only first wort, whirlpool and dry-hop additions) and flaked rye. It’s fermented with a blend of Dupont and Chico yeasts. Very dry, ample yeast character, and hoppy.

Bottle. Pours a hazy gold with a head that looks like a thin white cloud. Aromas are a nice mix of lemon and spice (coriander, chamomile and cloves) with a bread dough and honey malt presence. Flavor has a load of spice in it and I’m really liking it. Lots of cloves, dust and coriander. I’m impressed, since normally I’m somewhat annoyed by the style.

Pours gold into a snifter. Bright white head quickly recedes to hug rim leaving slight sheets. Mild grapefruit aromas. Crisp and full with upfront orange and resin turning to yeast and grapefruit in the lasting citrus finish.
