Inspired by the French craft brewery Brasserie Thieriez (located near the border of Belgium) and their passionate approach to saison, this Farmhouse Ale blurs brewing borders by blending our house Helio Gazer/Thiolized yeast with Dageraad’s unique strain of French Saison.
A malt bill of Franco-Belge pilsner malt, Triticale and Honey Oats sets the stage for orange zest, New World hop varietals Sabro Lupomax, Lubulski and Vista and resulting resonant notes of coconut, melon, citrus and cinnamon.
A collaboration beer borne out of mutual admiration and synergy that proves the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Available while supplies last in our tap room, to go from our retail store next door and at participating BC Liquor stores, private outlets and bars and restaurants in your neck of the woods.

Hazy tan sort of colour. Thin head. The aroma is peachy, a bit orangey, and fairly estery. On the palate, also estery, bright orange, dried apricot, a happy pale malt backbone. Not much bitterness, but I think it's enough. I like this, it's expressive.

On tap at Dageraad, pours a cloudy peachy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is rather chalky, with a blunted earthy hop character and some doughy Belgian yeast. Flavour is thankfully better, bringing out the Belgian yeast — somewhat doughy, somewhat spicy, a touch of stone fruit — along with an earthy, bready malt base. I'd prefer a bit more clarity here — don't hazify a Belgian pale. Still, not bad.
