Golden Spur Saison
Golden Spur is a crisp refreshing Belgian ale brewed to highlight the complexities of traditional Belgian Saison yeasts. A warmer fermentation increases the yeast's natural phenolic & ester production - enhancing banana and clove flavors and imparting a slight tartness.
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).
