Tasting Notes: Grapefruit juice. Wow, this thing is citrusy.

I had made a previous Saison with this yeast, and it was so citrusy that I thought I could go gonzo on the citrusy American hops and come up with a bit of an experimental brew. Also based loosely on a Saison recipe from Zymurgy. I was additionally inspired by Ouroborous, a brew from the Alchemist in Waterbury, VT, which is similar in its citrus flavors. But that's more of an IPA than this.

ADDITIONAL TASTING NOTES
Holy citrus explosion. Literally tastes like I poured grapefruit or orange juice into it. The citrus notes from the yeast along with all the American hops really add up. Much to my surprise, people also seem to really like this one.
Color is a nice orange to match the flavor. Creamy head dissipates pretty quickly due to high alcohol content.
Probably a little more spiciness in the finish would have balanced this out a little bit.
