Lost Abbey’s Carnival Ale

 Lost Abbey’s Carnival Ale: 
Saison, Beer Advocate: B+ 750ml / 6.5% abv

A: Pours a hazy gold with great lacing. Head recedes quickly into a nice soft foam over beer.
S: Belgian yeast, touch of Brett, pears and apples. A little spicy floral hops on the back but funk dominates.
T: Big fruity esters, gentle spice, touch of that Saison funk, and dry bitter on finish.
M: Medium bodied but might seem a little larger because of the dry finish. Moderate carbonation. 
D: Really easy drinking for a nice hot day. Saison’s are porch beers: Sip and enjoy the day pass by.
