Belgian Saison brewed with local barley, wheat and rye from Riverbend Malt House of Asheville, North Carolina and aged on local bull’s blood beets from Bluebird Farm of Morganton, North Carolina. Dry hopped with a blend of Cascade and Mt. Hood hops. Expect notes of dirt/earth/soil, citrus hops and fragrant Belgian yeast.

Draft. A pink beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of beerroot, lemons, and brett, leading to a tart finish.
