Upslope's Blood Orange Saison is a citrus ale designed to capture the essence of summer through mouth-watering food ingredients that reflect the heated climate of the season. This includes the addition of a sweet and tart blood orange juice contrasted with the heat of pink peppercorns for added spice. Together, the two flavors create the taste of summertime for consumers mourning the end of the season.
The ale is a collaborative effort between Upslope and Hops & Pie to create an aromatic and carbonated beverage that is sweet and spicy. The ale is light-tasting with a brass body accented with hoppy, citrus and piquant flavors. The beer pairs well with foods such as chicken, steak and cheeses.
