The Bright Side
A lightly tart saison built on the interplay of citrus and restraint. Citra and Styrian Celeia hops work gently into the background, allowing fresh lemon zest and juice to step forward and deliver a clean zing without overwhelming the farmhouse character. The result reads as a table saison—dry, tart, and deliberately low in alcohol at 4.5%—that finds its natural home as a summer aperitif, where its crisp finish and refreshing tartness cut through heat and thirst alike. Not a shout, but a precise gesture.
