Collaborating with Mystery Brewing Company in Hillsborough, NC, we brewed a saison with American hops, English malt, Belgian yeast, and Eastern spices. Fogg, named after the protagonist Phileas Fogg in the Jules Verne classic Around the World in 80 Days, showcases a garam masala spice blend. In this fruity brew, you'll find coriander, cinnamon, cumin, cloves, cardamom, bay leaves, star anise, and fennel. All the good spices without that curry heat.
Then we traveled to North Carolina and brewed the exact same recipe at Mystery Brewing Company...only we changed the spices. Instead of Eastern spices, we used Western spices: anchon chili peppers, sage, and juniper berries. Because beer is fun.

Murky, hazy orange-ish brew with a very light head.
Aroma is nearly all spice, although it all blends together into an indiscernible mess. It's not unpleasant, but it's strong and blended not unlike potpourri.
Flavor, oddly, follows. After the spice washes over the palate, there are nice notes of wheat, pale malt, and yeast. Yeast profile is of a cousin to, but far removed from, the traditional Belgian strains.
Very drinkable; refreshing, but medium bodied, for a very satisfying feel.
