Carnevale

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass with each sip. Effervescence is lively yet refined, suggesting a well-carbonated beer with good structural integrity. The light body reads visually in the delicate foam architecture and luminous pour.

◌ Aroma

A moderately spicy and inviting nose leads with tropical stone fruits—tangerine and apricot—alongside toasted biscuit and subtle Edelhopfen character from Amarillo and Simcoe. The saison yeast contributes a peppery edge and gentle funk, with Brett developing leather and earth undertones as the beer ages. Citrus notes remain prominent throughout, balancing spice and sweetness.

◐ Taste

Entry is mildly sweet and refreshingly light-bodied, allowing the hop-driven citrus and stone fruit to develop cleanly across the palate. Mid-palate brings gentle bitterness (28 IBU) and a warming spice from both yeast and hops, without aggression. Brettanomyces adds complexity and a dry, slightly funky character that evolves with time, accentuating orange and peach while the initial sweetness recedes.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately long, fading from citrus into a dry, slightly earthy aftertaste. Brett-derived funk lingers subtly without overwhelming, leaving the palate crisp and balanced.
