Description from Barrelhouse Brewing Co.


BarrelHouse India Pale Ale – Hoppy | Dank | Mango
Like our Pale Ryder, we want you to first inhale close your eyes and dig deep, take in all the dank, herbal, and mango hop goodness. We’ve built this delicious IPA around our favorite hops Simcoe, Cascade, Centennial, and Mosaic. Now open your eyes and take a gulp and let the bitterness, malt character, and aroma play tug-a-war across your palate. We haven’t skimped and believe this is how an IPA should taste. Satisfy your hop addiction with this excellently crafted IPA.
ABV 7.0% | IBU: 76 | S.G. 1.065

1.  Herbal salads with spinach and/or arugula.
2.  Earthy or nutty cheeses.
3   Earthy seasoned poultry and fish. 

Picture
Examples:  Saison Dupont, Bruery Saison Rue, Hennepin

Serving Temp: 45°- 50°

Glassware: Tulip Glass

Appearance: Hazy, deep golden with a thick, compact (tiny bubbles, white head.

Aroma: Farmhouse/horse blanket spice aromas with faint grassy hop notes. 

Flavor: Wonderful farmhouse flavors of spice and hay with complementary grassy flavors.

Mouthfeel: Medium-light body with elevated carbonation.


General style info: Whether you are drinking a traditional strength (5% ABV or lower) or a more contemporary version (6% ABV or higher) Saisons should finish dry with very little sweetness.  Saisons aromas can be quite complex with a fruit and spice mixture reminiscent of barnyards. Typically their flavors will be malt balanced (leaning towards malt instead of hops) but peppery spice flavors from the yeast and the elevated carbonation levels create a beer with medium bitterness and a dry finish.

The pints&pairings sugestioneers explore the beer pairing possibilities of saisons.

Geeky info:  Saisons originated in the French speaking part of Belgium called Wallonia.  Historically saisons (or seasonal beers) were brewed at the beginning of spring for consumption through the summer months.  These spicy, medium-light body, highly carbonated beers are refreshing and thirst quenching.
