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.

Flaska ölföreningen 2014. Smak och doft av äpple, päron, grapefrukt, tall, jäst, fläder, örter, gräs med toner av peppar och örter. Fruktig, en aning sträv. Bra balans och väldigt gott.

Holy Madonna. This beer is just in perfect balance with my flavoring. Brought me into nirvana and perfect harmony. Could not ask for more from a Saison. Lovely cloudy yellow color. Smooth perfect citric, yeast, mild spicy and fruity. The only problem is. Where do I get another one….

Flaska från SB. en söt fruktig stor saison. Saisonjäst, persikor, gula hallon, örtig, frisk lätt touch av brett. Det örtiga, blommiga och fruktiga gifter sig riktigt bra.
