Eastlake 2017 Arcturan Mega-Saison

Eastlake 2017 Arcturan Mega-Saison. Aged on Peaches in a single red wine barrel for 12 months. 13% ABV. Eastlake Brewery, Minneapolis, MN.

Clear-ish, bright golden hue, slim-to-none head.

In the nose: bold, wine-like, showing alcohol. Fruity and sweet. And here come the peaches. Alcohol is coming on strong now. Ginger's running hot, keeping pace with the booze, grapefruit's got it going on. A little bit of sweet & fruity, trace of Belgian funk, and alcohol keeping it groovy.

This one's a once-in-a-while treat, but I like it nonetheless

Saison brewed with pink grapefruit & ginger
