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.

Bottle shared at BD Castlegate. It pours clearish orangey with minimal head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, sugary, apricot, peach, persimmon, jammy, tinned fruits and candy. The taste is crisp, dry, puckering, sherbert, apricot, peach, mango, papaya, earth and minerals with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Bright and fruity. Fun.

Bottle shared in London - cheers to the Dream Team. Pours lightly hazy orange-gold with a frothy, white head. Lightly sweet, with notes of wheat, salt, lemon. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Tart finish, more citrus fruits, lemony zip. Very decent overall.

Level 6 Bottleshare. Thanks to LKS and the team. Hazy orange gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light dry palate. Lemon acid, not too strong but strong enough to overwhelm the subtler elements of this so called Saison. Crisp finish. Pointless.
