MOBeerGuy Thoughts:
Crane's Saison pours golden with a white head.

The smell of yeast first arrives to the nose with the citrus notes following quickly after, and ending with a hint of malt.

When sipping, this brew holds true to its style, it is crisp yet yeasty and bready with hints of citrus.

This beer does take you to a barn out in the country in the midst of a mid summer evening.

Pairs with: Funky cheese, spicy curry, rotisserie chicken

I give this beer a 4 out of 5
