http://www.laverybrewing.com/ourbeers.php France has a small brewing culture but their independence and culture is worthy of great respect. This ale is based around our house French saison blend. IFA features a blend of wheat, rye, pale and specialty malts to give this big girl a medium body so as to not become too cloyingly sweet. Hopped and dry hopped with massive amounts of American hops to double IPA levels. So...is it a Tripel IPA? Hoppy saison, a new style? Who knows and more importantly, who cares. Beers like this don't deserve to be put into tiny boxes. Expect a light colored and light to medium bodied beer with tons of hops and Belgian/French yeast spiceiness in the aroma. Always hazy due to amount of hops and wheat in the recipe. Warming alcohol finish. Surprisingly easy to drink , thanks to our yeast blend.
