🌍 Belgium · Saison · One of 82 Saisons in hopIQ

Launched in 2009, it revives the farmhouse ale of Hainaut that seasonal field workers once drank to quench their thirst. Top-fermented, refermented in the bottle and left unfiltered, it pours a warm golden blond. The nose is nuanced rather than loud, the bitterness clearly marked, and a full body carries both. Flavours of lemon, orange peel, peach, bread crust, white pepper and a clove note from the yeast, ending dry with a light tartness.

◌ Aroma

The nose is restrained and nuanced rather than assertive. White pepper and clove from the yeast work alongside citrus notes of lemon and orange peel, while a subtle bread-crust quality grounds the profile. Stone fruit undertones of peach emerge with extended nosing.

◐ Taste

A full body carries both the distinct bitterness and the complexity established on the nose. Lemon, orange peel, peach, and bread crust develop across the palate, with white pepper and clove providing structure and spice. The 28 IBU delivers a clearly marked but not aggressive bitterness that integrates seamlessly.

What is a Saison?
