◐ Taste

The palate opens with a crisp, dry character marked by the spicy yeast-derived flavors that persist across the mid-palate. A subtle bitter edge emerges from noble hops, providing structure without aggression, while wheat malt adds a light dryness that carries through to the finish.

Serve at 6–9°C

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

Pint glass

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

Drink within a year. Farmhouse character is liveliest when the beer is relatively young.
