COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
As the story goes, the charm of the Cap hails an otherwise mischievous band of winged-monkeys to carry out any three commands its owner wishes, such as carrying you from vast scarlet poppy fields to Emerald City, or even to the comfort of a country farmhouse. Golden Cap Saison however, brings the comfort to you with its modern interpretation of a traditional farmhouse ale. A soft, pale beer, Golden Cap accentuates the flavors and aromas of summer fields. Brewed with an ancestor to wheat called spelt, and bottle-conditioned; it's straw-colored body accentuated with lively carbonation and unique fermentation profile evoke fresh cut hay and cracked peppercorns. Ep-pe, pep-pe, kak-ke! Hil-lo, hol-lo, hel-lo! Ziz-zy, zuz-zy, zik!

ross (1874) - weddington, North Carolina, USA - DEC 14, 2011
Multiple bottles of this. Amanda liked it, so we had several. Pours out a yellow color with a white head on it. Smell is fruity, full of hay, and a slight hop bitterness in the nose. Taste smooth and easy to drink with a pretty high carbonation. Not a bad saison, but not anything to write home about.

DrSilverworm (713) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - NOV 16, 2011
12oz bottle, ABV listed as 6.25%. Hazy faded yellow color, minimal white head. Carbonation is prominent, but soft. Very peppery. Some lemon-peel zest, clove.. Hay is a pretty appropriate description for the malt backbone, but it’s secondary. Light bitterness. Not bad.
