"Saison" is a simply titled beer because of its classic profile. Made with an alternate yeast from the Dupont brewery, the recipe features a flavorful Czech pilsener malt and moderate hopping from liberty, santiam, and columbia hops. The yeast strain, much different than our house blend, yields a juicy and tropical flavor with contrasting spicy notes, but that character is well balanced with the malt and hop profile in comparison with many examples that lean heavily fruity.

Bottle at Saraveza Farmhouse Festival, pours a hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is huge on the rustic farmhouse yeast notes, with a dry spiciness. Flavour follows accordingly, with lots of rustic farmhouse yeast upfront. A no nonsense, beautiful traditional saison. Excellent.
