What the brewer says

“On y Va is a modern saison brewed with barley, wheat, and oats, and fermented with two classic saison strains. For an American fruit punch, we hopped it generously in the kettle and fermentor with the Pink Boots Blend created by YCH Hops and the Pink Boots Society.”

What our panel thought

Aroma: “Orange, lemon, and tangerine with some herbal green tea and peppery phenolics. Light bready malt in the background.” Flavor: “Foreground is a light spicy saison character: earthy, herbal, lemon, stone fruit, grainy malt, spicy phenolics of clove and pepper. Hops come through as a citrus background. Finishes very dry and crisp.” Overall: “Traditiona­l dry-hopped fruity and slightly tart saison with a light, dry finish. The hops are subtle and dovetail with the yeast nicely.”
