Saison du Pinacle Australe

◎ Appearance

Pale golden blonde with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that leaves delicate lacing on the glass. The body is light and the carbonation is brisk, giving the beer a lively visual presence despite its thin malt foundation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus—lemon zest and grapefruit pith—layered over floral New World hop character. As it opens, pine and green herbal notes emerge, with white pepper and a subtle farmhouse earthiness from the yeast underneath, adding complexity without heaviness.

◐ Taste

Dry entry with a lean, pale malt base that lets the hops take the lead. Tropical fruit edges blend with citrus and pine throughout the mid-palate, while white pepper spice and green herbal notes build gradually. The bitterness is firm and present for a saison, finishing drier and more structured than typical examples of the style.

◑ Finish

Long and persistently dry with a subtle tannic grip that carries through to the aftertaste. The finish leans toward a hoppy ale character rather than a soft farmhouse table beer, with lingering herbaceous and peppery notes.

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

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