Austin
Austin is the base farmhouse ale behind several fruited and oak-aged variants, released on its own only once the brewery had a reproducible process. Fermentation relies on a slow souring process with mixed microorganisms, combined with its own hops and a tuned mineral profile. The result is pale, dry and slightly tart, with a gentle funk; tasters describe lime zest, lemon, sour apple, flowers and dry hay. The beer is unfiltered, unpasteurised and naturally carbonated.

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 dry, funky, citrusy character as Austin will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
