In celebration of our one year anniversary, we created Petite Cranky, a unique twist on our popular Little Cranky session IPA. We started with our session IPA base recipe and added lemon grass to the whirlpool, lending bright notes of lemon zest and grass. This perfectly complements the heavy use of Lemon Drop hops in Little Cranky. To fermentation, we added 50# of organic Sencha Green Tea which harmonizes seamlessly with the lemongrass, contributing bright green tea flavor and earthy qualities. Our house Saison yeast strain added bright fruity esters and a spicy clean dry finish.

Had last night at the brewery out of their pint glass, pours bright yellow, very clear, with a small white head that fades and doesn't leave much lacing.
Smell is saison yeast esters, sweetness, bit of spice, little grassy hop action in the back. Taste starts with some sweetness from the malts, middle has a bit of sharp citrus like lemon, finishes with the Belgian yeast from the aroma. Bit of bitterness in the back end, lemony hops give the faintest of flavors.
Body is very light, easy to drink. Overall this tastes more like a Belgian beer for summer than an IPA. A good beer on its own but severely lacking the hops of an IPA. Not bad.
