Commercial Description:
A seasonal beer of Belgian origin, brewed for harvest time. A complex beer for sure, from the unique yeast strain, and a combination of malts to the unusual fermentation temperature comes a beer that is spicy, somewhat fruity, light bodied, and with a quenching bitterness. The aromas and flavors will be enhanced by allowing the beer warm slightly. Brewed primarily in the French speaking region of Belgian and the farming community there. A one of a kind style.

Pour was a dirty blonde with a large white head. Aroma was nice a fruity with some vanilla and yeast. Flavoir was also above par with a touch of pepper and citrus fruit along with some corriander and spice. Nice example of the style.

Small pour (approximately 3 oz.), on tap at Gitchee Gumee Brewfest in Superior, WI on 4-5-08. This was the fifth of 12 beers that I rated (out of about 20 total beers that I tried). It was listed as simply "Muskie Capital Saison" at the festival. This was my favorite beer of the Brewfest. Pours a clear, dark brass / medium brown, quite dark for a saison. Small amount of beige head. Very nice, Belgian-style, sweet aroma with some dusty dryness. The taste has a very sweet start with a lightly dry finish. Medium body. Crisp, smooth, and lively in the palate. I was highly impressed by this offering and will seek out Muskie Capital if I am ever in its area.

A growler courtesy of Skyview. Cloudy, dark copper color with a large head. Nice farmhouse, banana and yeasty aroma. Big bread, yeast, cloves and malt taste. Excellent.
