SBR015: Gettin Married and Stuff

June 11, 2015

After a fairly long hiatus, we return with a new format. We will be releasing two short episodes every week; one on Mondays and one on Thursdays that we call the Thirsty Thursday Edition. For this episode we're reviewing Carnevale from The Lost Abbey.CarnevaleBrewed by:The Lost AbbeySan Marcos, CAStyle | ABVSaison | 8%Brewed in celebration of Lent and Easter season, Carnevale is light bodied Saison, using Brettanomyces along with Amarillo and Simcoe hops to generate flavor and depth. Carnevale’s complexity grows with time. The citrus notes tend to wane and the wild yeast rears its wonderfully tasting head. ABV: 6.5% Tasting Notes: AROMA: Moderately spicy nose with hints of tropical fruits and toasted biscuits. Some tangerine and apricot help round out the citrus notes. TASTE: Mildly sweet with subtle pop, the carbonation helps introduce the deep flavor of brett to the palate. Style Reference: Saison / Farmhouse Ale Pair With: Cambozola cheese, goat cheese w/ apricot jam, citrus chicken and lighter fares of pork and fish, salads w/ a fruit element Subscribe to the Podcast: Stitcher - http://bit.ly/sbrstitcher iTunes - http://bit.ly/SBRitunes Pocket Casts - http://bit.ly/sbrpocket RSS - http://southernbeer.libsyn.com/rss Social Links: Twitter - http://twitter.com/sbrtv Facebook - http://facbook.com/groups/sbrtv Google+ - https://plus.google.com/+Southernbeermag/posts Untappd - http://untappd.com/user/SBRJames
