Brewed in celebration of Lent and Easter season, Carnevale is a light-bodied Saison, using Brettanomyces along with Amarillo and Simcoe hops to generate flavor and depth. Carnevale’s complexity grows with time. The citrus notes tend to wane and the wild yeast rears its wonderfully tasting head.

Many thanks to kappldav123 for sharing this bottle! Smooth mild fruity nose. The beer starts fruity mild. Smooth floral with funky hints. Easy to drink with a light body, smooth, dry, not too intense. Funky-dusty in the aftertaste, round and refreshing though.

Bottle looks really good. Beer in the glass zippy, small head. Fruity malty aroma. Starts mild, malty, modest fruity with hints of peaches, some apricot. Mild sweetish. Finish dry malty. Not bad.

ABC Roxy Benefit: Poured hazy yellow to golden with a white head. Aroma was funky with citrus fruits. Taste was more citrus fruits, light hop bitterness, spicy tingle, carbonation.

Beaverfest Day 2. Keg. Light haze on this gold beer, small cream colour head. Palate is airy, dry and has decent fine carbonation. Dry sweetish malts, a little cream. Modest herbal fruits, a little spicy floralness. Dry finish. Pleasant enough.

Monumentális, örökké tartó hab, félbarnába hajló borostyán szín. Szénás, gabonás, fűszeres illat, tipikusan seasonos. Gabonás, kissé búzás, fűszeres, egy hajszálnyit élesztős ízek, lecsengéskor egy picit olajos. Közepesen testes, pezsgősen szénsavas, enyhén keserű. Nagyon finom, élénk, jól eltalált ízvilágú, jó arányokkal rendelkező nedű.

(Bottle) Golden colour, slightly hazy, with brief foamy white head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of apricot marmalade, orange peel, lemon, crisp-bread, honey, esters and spicy yeast. Malty, fruity taste with dried apricots, mandarin, honey, crisp-bread, hay, flowers, some brett and a gentle spicy bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Tasty and refreshing. Nice one.
