Collaboration with Casey Brewing & Blending
Fermented in and aged in French Oak with cultures from Missouri and Colorado, this saison spent 7 months maturing with Missouri Flamin' Fury peaches.
Our labels are a change of pace for both breweries as Troy decided to design their Leaner label himself and use inspiration from our Fuzzy label, so we did the same. Our label is designed after their Oak Theory!
Working with Troy on this one was awesome and hopefully it's something we do again (maybe a different fruit) in the future!
Cheers.

Appearance - The beer was golden orange color with visible carbonation.
Smell - The nose was vinegary, with notes of peach.
Taste - The taste profile was vinegary at the front. There were notes of peach and green apple. It was highly acidic, chipping away at my tooth enamel. There were notes of fresh cut grass before the funk emerged at the finish.
Mouthfeel - Carbonation was aggressive. The body had staying power.
Overall - The beer drank more like a kettle sour than a saison.
