La Ruche is a delicate Missouri Saison fermented using a blend of our local microflora and a traditional Saison yeast. Meadowfoam Honey was added to this soft beer for refermentation in a Missouri Oak Foedre and was aged to maturity before being naturally conditioned in this bottle.
Note: Previous vintages of La Ruche used Orange Blossom honey instead of Meadowfoam honey.

More sweet and tangy stonefruit notes than usual, similar to the other 10 year Saison. Delish!
