Brouwerij De Ranke

Saison·Belgium·5.5% ABV·One of 180 Saisons in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Saison de Dottignies's dry and spicy character. Saison de Dottignies pays tribute to Hainaut, the province where the saison style took shape and where De Ranke has brewed since 2005. It is a top-fermented, amber-gold ale of moderate strength, hopped heavily with whole cones and built to quench thirst rather than to impress with weight. Bread crust and grain meet pepper, dried herbs, cut grass and a floral edge on the nose. The body is light to medium with lively, fine carbonation, and a stiff bitterness keeps the finish dry, spicy and grassy.
