Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailGolden Spur Saison

Our Spring Seasonal, Golden Spur Saison, is light in color and very dry - but don't let that fool you. This brew hits 6.7% ABV and the Saison yeast used in this beer packs quite a flavor wallop. We fermented it warm at 75 - 85 degrees Fahrenheit for increased yeast flavor enhancing the banana, clove and fruit flavor compounds the yeast naturally produces and imparting a slightly sour taste to the beer due to a small increase in acidity. The beer gets its name from the Battle of the Golden Spurs in the City of Courtrai on July 11th, 1302. The city is located in Flanders (just north of Wallonia - the origin of Saison), so we imagine the victorious defending militia drank copious amounts of Saison. To commemorate this, we've named our beer after the battle. (NOTE: There's no historical evidence that the militia drank Saison after the battle - it's just what we would have done).
