This is a very modern, you might say new world, interpretation of this style. Based on the tradition 8 wired have used a French Saison yeast, which provides a plethora of funky, earthy, very “Belgian” flavours. From there they have upped the ante a fair bit by doubling the amount of malt, and thereby the alcohol, and loaded the kettle with punchy Nelson Sauvin hops. Unlike the original, this is not a beer meant to be drunk by the gallon. Moderation is the key for full enjoyment of all great beers.
