Trifoliate oranges, or hardy oranges, are small golf ball sized oranges that are covered in a soft fuzz, they are firm, resinous, full of seeds, and known for their bitter flavor. The trees that they grow on are covered in viscous looking thorns, and are notoriously hardy and prolific. For these reasons it would surprise most people familiar with them to find out that they make such a welcomed addition to beer, but they lend a bright floral character to the aroma which pairs well with our house saison yeast’s fruity and spicy pro Show Less
