Traditionally Saison beers were brewed in farmhouses, often in the cooler months, and saved for the seasonal workers (saisonniers) to drink in the hot summer months as a refreshing and clean source of hydration! I like to think my ‘Saison’ is a beer those hard working ‘saisonniers’ would have enjoyed again and again.

Made in a similar way to the Tripel (yet a little lighter), this is a refreshing drop which, thanks to the invention of refrigeration, can now be enjoyed all year round .

27/5/2020. Bottle bought direct from the brewery. 6.7% abv. Pours cloudy pale orange gold with a huge but short lasting white head. Aroma is yeasty, herbal, citrus, malt and hop, along with a little caramel and ripe banana. Medium sweetness and light tartness. Medium body, slightly oily and average carbonation. Refreshing in today’s heat. Enjoyed it.
