Brighter than the spotlight itself, “Circus of Light” is a blend of two distinct, but equally vibrant fruited saisons. The first, a clean saison brewed with pilsner malt, wheat, and a touch of rye, finished its fermentation with fresh-pressed Torrocco blood orange juice from the beautiful, certified organic fruit of Santa Cruz’s Yellow Wall Farm. The second is a tropical and tantalizing barrel-aged saison with guava, The resulting blend is a brilliant festival of flavor worthy of the big tent. Sante!

Light farm and clean grain on the nose, with some guava. Citrus comes in afterwards with lots of blood orange and acidity.

Poured from a 750 ml bottle. Aroma is fruity forward with nice orange and guava notes. Hints of lemon and green grapes. Light grain and alcohol notes. Pours a slightly hazy, yellow-gold, with a medium sized, medium thick, white head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers on the edges. Light lacing and faint legs. Flavor is a bit acidic with light sweetness and light grain notes. Medium light bitterness and light alcohol notes. Fairly strong orange notes and lighter guava with hints of lemon and tropical citrus. Hints of herbal, spicy phenolics. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid fruited saison. Nice fruit notes with complimentary fermentation characteristics. Light, balanced acidity and balanced alcohol notes. Easy drinking and enjoyable.
