Rustic dry-hopped saison
This rustic saison was brewed with Pilsen malt, wheat and a healthy dose of spelt, which contributes to the rich copper colour and slightly spicy malt character. This malt backbone is complemented by the flavour and aroma of the dry-hop. Hallertau Blanc is a modern German hop that has the traditional noble hop character (herbal and spicy) but also brings some a pleasant fruity character to this saison, with notes of gooseberries and white grape. With a light bitterness and dry finish, Blanca is as refreshing as it is complex.

On tap at Strange Fellows, pours a hazy dull copper golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out rustic saison yeast, some black pepper, and a touch of floral character. Flavour is quite rustic, bringing out a really nice saison yeast character, some black pepper, and a nice gentle hop character from the Hallertau. Really nicely constructed, getting a real nice character from the yeast. Excellent.
