This refreshing Saison combines barley and rye malts with an authentic Belgian yeast to bring you peppery, earthy and fruity notes on the palate.
Into this mix we have used a significant amount of citrusy hops which compliments the Belgian character of this beer.

440ml can bought as part of a delivery from the brewery and drunk at home. Light gold, clear, a very small film of white head. Earthy notes in the aroma, coriander, light lemons, very light funk. Tastes of sweet spice with an acute bitterness nearer the finish. Light to medium body, spritzy carbonation. A shade subtler than your run-of-the-mill saison.

Pale blond with light haze and stable, lasting head. Aroma and flavour have plenty of saison yeast. Light, crisp and clean taste with a nice level of yeasty complexity. Well carbonated.
