This Belgian-style Saison captures the essence of a refreshing farmhouse ale with a bright, citrus-forward profile. Expect an aromatic burst of orange and lemon peel that amplifies the characteristic fruity esters of the Saison yeast. The citrus notes are complemented by a rustic, grainy malt backbone and a distinct peppery spice. As a collaboration between La Calavera and White Pony, this beer prioritizes high drinkability with a bone-dry finish. Effervescent and lively, it balances continental hop floral notes with a firm bitterness, making for a crisp and evocative sensory experience that remains true to its rustic, artisanal Belgian roots.
Appearance.Pours a hazy, pale gold to soft orange with a dense, rocky, long-lasting white head that leaves significant Belgian lace on the glass.
Aroma.Moderate to high intensity featuring a complex blend of citrusy esters, specifically lemon and orange zest, alongside a spicy yeast character reminiscent of cracked black pepper. Low floral and earthy hop notes complement a light, crackery, grainy malt background.
Taste.Initial impression is highly refreshing with citrus peel flavors leading into a mid-palate of soft, grainy malt. The yeast provides a spicy, peppery counterpoint to the orange and lemon fruitiness. It features a moderate bitterness and very high attenuation, resulting in a bone-dry, crisp finish with a lingering spicy and citrusy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with very high, effervescent carbonation that provides a prickly sensation on the tongue. Very low alcohol warmth is well-integrated, contributing to its high drinkability without any astringency.
