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.

Location: Draft at the brewery, 1/4/15
Aroma: Has a fairly light aroma, with yeast/spice and beat notes
Appearance: It has a bright red poor, with a small white head
Flavor: Lighter flavor as well, it is not particularly bitter or sweet, fairly simple
Palate: It has a drinkable, clean feel, and a softer carbonation compared to the other saisons
Overall Impression: I thought this one was pretty interesting. Not an overpowering beet flavor at all. It's more in the color than anything else. Good mouthfeel that is more dissimilar to the other saisions I had here than any of the others were to the group as a whole.

Tulip draft pour at Good Bottle Company in Charlotte, North Carolina. The pour is clear red, with a pink head that falls fast. The aroma is earthy mineral beet, along with some light sweet. The taste is the earthy sweetness of the beet right away, really natural clean flavors that turn towards earth and yeast in the finish. The palate is medium bodied, heavier than I would have expected, with a earth finish. Interesting and well executed.
