Brewer's Notes: We've been diggin' on some single hop beers these days, and we decided to mix it up from the pale ales we been doin' (don't you worry, we've got more of those comin' too) and make a tasty-ass saison with Blue Ox wheat and brand new (to us) Idaho 7 hops! The Powers That Be have apparently renamed these hops to "007 the Golden Hop" but we'd rather pretend that never happened.** Anyway, enjoy!
* Why yes, I did look up "fancy words for yellow," why do you ask?
** Incidentally, "let's pretend that never happened" is the name of our favorite drinking game.
