Saison du Meyboom

Tap to rate

Blond, hazy and opalescent under a creamy head, this saison draws citrus and floral aromas from forgotten hop varieties grown in southern Germany, with a note of ripe pear. Citrus, bergamot and kumquat unfold on the palate, joined by rustic cereals (spelt, wheat, rye) and wild flowers, before a very dry finish. A seasonal beer at 5.2 % ABV, available in August.

◐ Taste

Crisp entry with citrus and bergamot moving across the palate, joined by spelt, wheat, and rye cereals that provide structural backbone. Wild flower notes persist mid-palate, while a whisper of spice emerges from the fermentation. The finish drives toward marked dryness, with no residual sweetness.
