La Ruche is a delicate Missouri Saison fermented using a blend of our local microflora and a traditional Saison yeast. Orange Blossom honey was added to this soft beer for refermentation in a Missouri Oak Foedre and was aged to maturity before being naturally conditioned in the bottle.

Sample at the roost pours a clear gold with a ring of white head. Nose is nice, green grapes and green apples, lemons and straw. Flavor is more complex and nice, lemon and grape, but unripened stone fruit, champagne and neutral barrel. Tart, dry, medium full bodied. Nice.
