Crooked Stave Vielle

This is a artisanal saison aged in oak barrels  from the Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project of Denver, Colorado. It is 4.2% ABV. The name means "old."

The beer pours a gleaming golden in color. There is about an inch of pure white foam. The aroma is floral, citrus, mostly lemon and lime, tart, with a bit of funk, and very light wood. The taste is clean and fresh, albeit tart and sour, again citrus, floral much lighter in the flavor, but present, with a very light oak wood in the finish. It is crisply carbonated. This is a nicely done refresher of a beer.
