The award-winning ale will be released at the brewery on April 20th and find its way to store shelves and tap handles the following week.<\/p>\n<p>The recipe for Twisted Pine\u2019s saison utilizes Pilsener malt and white wheat, gently flattered with German Perle, Czech Saaz and American Willamette hops which add subtle, yet intricate flavoring to the beer. The Belgian yeast headlines the show, lacing palates with the delicate, floral esters for which the style is known. LPS is a smooth sipper with a crisp finish, and at 5.3% ABV skirts the upper range of session territory.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.2beerguys.com\/images\/forblog\/twisted_pine_la_petite_saison.jpg\" alt=\"Twisted Pine - La Petite Saison\" width=\"288\" height=\"196\" \/><\/p>\n<p>La Petite Saison debuted as Twisted Pine\u2019s summertime offering in 2010, and while the recipe remains unchanged, the label has received a major facelift this time around. Logistics Manager Justin Tilotta describes the label change as part of an effort to visually streamline the many specialty beers packaged by the brewery, adding \u201c<em>we all liked the original design, but it was such a misfit and stood out like a sore thumb when lined up next to our other products.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>22 ounce bottles featuring the revamped label will be available throughout Twisted Pine\u2019s distribution base, and for the first time kegs will be sent out of state.
