Saison Surprise
A light saison brewed with lemon zest and lemon juice. The citrus is direct: bright peel oil up front, then a clean juice tartness cutting across the middle. Underneath, the farmhouse yeast adds pepper and a faint floral lift, while the pale grain stays thin and dry. Carbonation runs high and the body is slight, so the acidity reads refreshing rather than sour and the close comes quickly.
