Politics aside, this beer is makin’ noise with great taste

January 30, 2017 Guest User

Regardless of your political affiliations, the variant on Makin’ Noise served at Goldspot – an imperial saison fermented with strawberry puree – is a fantastic beer. Fruity without being too sweet, refreshing while maintaining the yeasty complexity of the style, it’s easy to down a glass before you remember that 9% ABV.
