Unlike any other beer you’ve ever experienced, King of Carrot Flowers, a carrot juice and elderflower Saison, defies convention, crafted with culinary balance in mind. Made in celebration of EatDenver’s Harvest Week, King of Carrot Flowers bursts forth in an illuminate, ripe cantaloupe orange hue, while exhibiting subtle fruit forward citrus notes and nuances of pear, honey, coriander and vanilla. This vibrant, expressive, dry Saison showcases the versatility that can occur between beer and food, and also represents the complete journey from the fields of the farm, to the streets of the city, culminating in the glass that you are holding.

12 oz. can. Bright, opaque, orange color, wiht a fair, white head. The nose is lavender, celery, quinine, and chalk. Sweet and sugary, with a light, nutty bitterness. Light, effervescent, and a bit acidic. Easy and unique.

Sample at the taproom. Cloudy bright orange color with a medium thin bone white head that dissipates steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Floral, fruity and slightly vegetal aroma. Light to medium body with flavors of floral yeast, sweetly spiced root vegetables and malt. The finish is sweet with a fruity yeast and vegetable aftertaste. Unique for sure, and pretty enjoyable.

Can. A- Elderflower, orange juice. A- Vibrant orange color, hazy liquid, white fizzy head. T- Vegetal, yeast, floral, faint sourness, tang powder, mildly bitter. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, astringent finish. O- I love beets in beer but that may be the only vegetable beer I like, pumpkins excluded of course. Bought for the novelty of it. Tastes vegetal with carrot if you look specifically for it. The aftertaste lingers and not in a good way. Pass.

Draft vat the source. The orangest beer of the day. Aroma of flowers carrot lemon. Taste is carrotlemon. Strange. Additional evidence that vegetables don't belong in beer

Draught at source: pours slightly hazy gold with a white head. Carrot and floral and weird candy. Taste is sweet and yeasty. Weird.

From Beer Drop. No dating on the can.
It pours a hazy orange with a small short lasting head of foam. Hardly any lacing.
The smell is kind of fruity, vegetal, must be the carrots, perfume like aromas, must be the Elderflower. Unusual nose.
The elder flowers I can taste immediately. Now there's the carrot juice that adds the vegetal flavour, and I get a hint of spice. Umm..why this combination in a Saison??
Lightish body and carbonation.
I don't get the gist of this beer.
