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.

Sampled on draft at 3R6P this beer poured a cloudy yellow-gold color with a medium sized foamy white head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was dry, musty and chalky with pepper and funk. The flavor was dry, tart and citric with perfume, must and funk. Long musty citrus finish. Medium body. Decent.
