Aenne

Tap to rate

Aenne is the brewery's hoppy Saison, brewed in numbered batches with a generous hop addition in the coolship and partly with the heritage black barley grown on the farm. The hop variety changes from batch to batch, but the profile stays recognisable: citrus, pine and green tea lead, while some batches add biscuit, a hint of mint and a lemon iced tea freshness. Exposure in the open coolship brings a light wild, rustic note that gives it more grip than a cleanly fermented Saison, and the finish is dry.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant citrus and pine notes from the rotating hop selection, complemented by a subtle green tea herbal quality. The coolship conditioning introduces a faint wild, earthy rusticity that adds complexity without overwhelming the clean, bright hop profile. Depending on the batch, soft biscuit malt and a whisper of mint may emerge alongside lemon iced tea freshness.

◐ Taste

Entry is dry and crisp with immediate hoppy grip from the generous whirlpool addition. Mid-palate balances herbal spice and earthy undertones with the subtle heritage black barley malt character, while the drying bitterness builds steadily without becoming harsh. The farmhouse yeast and coolship exposure contribute a light funky edge that enhances the overall rustic structure.

Serve at 6–9°C

Serve at 8–12°C. Saison is refreshing but complex — cold works, but slightly warmer shows its farmhouse character.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink within a year. Farmhouse character is liveliest when the beer is relatively young.

About Saison

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a Saison?

Saisons are Belgian farmhouse ales with 5–8% ABV and IBU 20–35. Spicy, fruity yeast — pepper, citrus, hay — with high carbonation and a dry refreshing finish.

Finding a similar Saison

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same hoppy, dry, citrusy character as Aenne will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
