Our fourth release is the second iteration of Saison de Maison. Saison de Maison will be a constantly evolving beer as we try out variations in blending, hopping and conditioning. This beer is a blend of barrels from July and August 2021, blended then dry hopped with 2 g/L of UK Cascade. With a slightly higher acidity than the first blend, you'll find vivacious carbonation and pithy, sherbet lemon notes. The Brett character is reserved with delicate leather, papaya and pineapple funk which melds with the resinous pine of UK cascade.

Keg @ Balance Brewing & Blendery Tap Room, Manchester. Excellent Saison, nothing too sour, good fruit with its barrel ageing superbly subtle in its aroma.

Keg @ Port Street Beer House. Pours a misty pale yellow, good white head. Freshly fruity floral wild nose. Impeccable balance of flavours with fruity, wild floral nuances in perfect harmony, wonderfully aged depth. Impressive stuff.
