This golden ale is delightfully effervescent and generously hopped. Hints of lemon zest appear in the lightly phenolic aroma, while the flavor brings spicy tastes of black pepper and lemon grass. Citrus and pineapple notes are discernable in the slightly astringent finish.
Smokestack Saison is brewed with two-row pale malt, malted wheat, and a pinch of corn. In addition to Magnum and Simcoe hops, they use a new variety called Amarillo, which contributes to the citrusy flavor of the beer.
