A true seasonal beer, as refreshing as it should be! Taste it in the summer, sitting at a terrace table. Originally, season beer was a beer brewed before the summer and intended for summer-season farmhands. It had low alcohol content and a marked bitterness that made it really refreshing.
We wanted to offer a truly seasonal Season with production limited in time. As Laurent Agache’s parents had created a cottage-type aperitif based on fresh elder tree flowers, greatly appreciated for family festivities, we have tried to use that flower for producing our Season. The elder flower, combined with the Sterling hop, was wonderful right from the first tests: the bitterness of the hops underlined by the flower brought a new and really nice freshness. The following year, shortly after the flowering of the elder tree, our Saison Cazeau was launched on the market.

Bottle at home for rating 2222. Hazy light golden with big creamy and fluffy white head, looks like a massive marshmallow on top of my beer, awesome. Nice peppery yeast and some cloves and other spices, light flowery and grassy, a touch of tart lemon, hay, and apple. There’s a light sweet maltbase underneath, but the yeast, flowers and hops are much more in the foreground here. Under medium sweet and bitter with a light tart touch. Medium bodied with over medium carbonation. Good classic saison.
