Off Color Brewing, based in Chicago, Illinois, is known for its innovative and creative approach to brewing. Apex Predator is a farmhouse ale, also known as a saison, which is a style traditionally brewed in the French-speaking region of Belgium. This beer is crafted with a focus on yeast-driven flavors, utilizing a free-rise fermentation process that allows the yeast to express itself fully. The result is a complex and refreshing beer with notes of tropical fruit, citrus, and a hint of spice, balanced by a dry finish. The use of Pilsner malt and flaked wheat provides a light body, while the addition of Crystal and Sterling hops adds a subtle bitterness. With an ABV of around 6.5%, Apex Predator is a versatile beer that pairs well with a variety of foods, including grilled meats, seafood, and spicy dishes.
