Very good

This turned out very well. The small amount of rye malt gives it a subtle spiciness. If I make it again, I will add a little grated fresh orange peel at the very end of the boil. The White Labs Saison yeast seems to be a slow fermentor, allow plenty of time in primary, or finish it with another yeast strain after fermentation slows.
