The beer is a Belgian style Saison-a powerful yet delicate ale with a distinctive spicy fruitiness and bright golden color. Brewed with a unique blend of Belgian yeast and candi sugar. Red Sky at night is an ideal full-flavored summer refresher. Clipper City will produce only a small batch, so availabilty is extremely limited. ABV: 8.25% Malts: Pils, Carapils, and Wheat Hops: Magnum and Styrian Goldings

"From a bottle. Pours a hazy yellow with a white head. Aroma is typical for a saison, banana and clove, but very light. Flavor is also light. Sweeter than other saisons I've had. Not too impressed with this one. "

"Golden colored. White medium sized head. Sweet, malty and light hoppy aroma. Flavor is light sour and malty and ends up in a quickly diminishing fruitsweetness."

[5] Review by staleyiv from Newnan, GA, USA who has tried this beer once. (6/12/2007 10:02:55 PM)
"Aroma is peppery and spicy with some notes of brown sugar and caramel as well as some sweetness but it isn't cloying with maybe some ripened fruit overtones like very ripe bananas. Appearance is a cloudy, golden yellow in color with a medium-sized head on top that is bleach-white in color and remains and is very carbonated. Mouthfeel is surprisingly light-bodied with some pleasant sweet complexity as well as peppery balance with a palate that is a bit too thin for the style. Flavor is of candy sugar, Belgian yeast, some mustiness and faint sharp spice with an aftertaste that is thin and almost watery with a finish that is smooth, refreshing and dangerously light with maybe some faint cloves on the very back end. Overall, this beer grows on me as I sip it but it does seem a bit to simplistic given the style and there is no alcohol noticeable but overall I am happy with this offering and look forward to the rest of the sixer; I may age one as well...recommended.
