Clipper City Brewing Co. Baltimore, MA
This here pounder has fine layer of yeast at her bottom. It won't send you to Davy
Jones' locker but will protect your brew from the rigors of life at sea ! A sailor's
delight - and even a landlubber's ! Red Sky at Night is not red, it's a saison - a
Belgina farmhouse-style ale. Imported Belgian yeast, candi sucre, and wheat
malt deliver a refreshing yet intensely spicy and fruity ale.

Appearance
Very pale golden color, middle of the road, some cloudiness, a bit forgiven as this
is advertised as using wheat malt. Head was white and not terribly impressing. It
dissipated so quickly the Beer Blitz photographer didn't have time to get it ! Cloudy
golden color, nothing spectacular. Little carbonation and head.
Aroma
Decent strength, both hoppy spiciness and a hint of banana scents come
through. Malty ale elevates well to Belgian ale tag. Reasonably powerful, quite
aromatic. Fruity and yeasty with a little spice.
Palate
A grainy taste, mostly smooth. Mild fruit and spiciness noticed initially. Grainy and
a little creamy. Good flavors, bread and fruit, subtle apple and spice.
Finish
More strength, creaminess, and flavor comes through. Very spicy and peppery. A
hint more carbonation, apple, and banana flavors awaken. Soft, the malt quality
lasts with the typical sourness of a Belgian.
Synopsis
A good example of a Saison (or Farmhouse) ale. Very spicy, peppery, and some
fruit tones. The spiciness is typical of the style, the drinker will need to decide for
themselves whether they like the style or not. Some may prefer less spice and
more of other elements but this is a good example of the style nonetheless. A very
drinkable beer. A light cider quality with a creamy blend.
