Description:

Hail Storm Summer Saison is a refreshing and complex farmhouse ale that captures the essence of summer in every sip. Brewed by industrious gnomes in the majestic Colorado mountains, this saison pours a hazy golden hue with a frothy white head that lingers beautifully. The aroma is an enticing bouquet of fruity esters, with notes of ripe pear, banana, and a hint of spicy clove, courtesy of the French Saison yeast strain.

On the palate, Hail Storm Summer Saison is light and effervescent, with a delicate balance of malt sweetness and a dry, crisp finish. The addition of Saaz and Tettnang hops imparts a subtle earthy and floral bitterness that complements the fruity yeast character perfectly. A touch of coriander and orange peel adds a zesty, citrusy twist, making this beer incredibly refreshing and ideal for warm weather.

Brewing in the Colorado mountains comes with its own set of thrills, as the gnomes must navigate the unpredictable afternoon thunderstorms that add an extra layer of excitement to both the brewing process and the drinking experience. Each sip of this saison carries the spirit of adventure and the rugged beauty of its mountainous origin.

Whether you're enjoying a sunny day on the patio or seeking a flavorful companion for your summer BBQ, Hail Storm Summer Saison is the perfect choice. Its complex yet approachable profile makes it a standout in the saison category, and a must-try for any beer enthusiast.
