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.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Arthur
◎ Appearance
A pale golden hue with soft luminosity, characteristic of traditional farmhouse brewing. The unfiltered character renders a light haze that catches the light pleasantly. Natural carbonation produces a fine, persistent head with delicate lacing that clings to the glass.
◌ Aroma
The nose opens with subtle herbaceous and floral notes layered beneath a clean yeasty foundation. American barley contributes a light, understated maltiness, while the farmhouse yeast character emerges as gentle spice and a whisper of earthiness. The overall impression is refined and composed, inviting rather than assertive.
◐ Taste
The palate is decidedly dry with a crisp entry that showcases the interplay of restrained maltiness and gentle tartness. Mid-palate develops earthy and herbal complexity without heaviness, while the 28 IBU provides measured, refined bitterness that integrates seamlessly. The finish remains clean and bright, with no cloying sweetness.
◑ Finish
The aftertaste is brief and clean, fading to a pleasant dry sensation. A lingering spice note and subtle tartness mark the departure.
