Every year since our inception. Cellarmaker has traveled out to Yolo county to Berryessa Brewing to make a new beer that incorporated the freshest and best citrus of California. This batch is a tart saison which uses the zest of Meyer lemons, pomelo, tangerine, navel orange and blood orange.

Pours cloudy, yellow gold, small white head. Aroma is cereal grains and lime peel, roses, mandarin orange. Bitterer and drier than expected, some nice citrus flavor, nice cereal grain. Fairly dry. Mildly bitter. Better than expected.

On tap at Hog’s Apothecary. Aroma has a moderately strong citrus hop character with grapefruit and orange. Lighter notes of pine resin and dankness. Quite a bit of citrus fruit character as well. Pours a fairly cloudy yellow gold to gold with a small, moderately thick white head that lingers nicely. Moderate lacing and faint legs. Flavor is similar to aroma but with a nice underlying pale, cracker malt character. Medium bitterness with medium hop notes that add grapefruit and a light pine resin character. Moderately strong citrus fruit notes of orange, grapefruit, tangerine and faint hints of lemon and lime. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall a pretty enjoyable and interesting beer. The hop character is fairly light compared to an IPA, but the fruit adds a lot of the character that people try to get from the hops. The fruit notes from the hops are noticeably different from the fruit notes from the fruit. Juicy.
