🌍 Italy · Saison · One of 26 Saisons in hopIQ

An ancient grain for a great beer — Enkir uses 55% Einkorn (Triticum Monococcum), the very first cereal ever cultivated by mankind, blended with barley malt. This Neolithic grain imparts delightful spicy and resinous notes alongside yellow fruit aromas that no modern barley variety can replicate. A beer of great balance and smoothness — a bridge between Italy's ancient agricultural heritage and the contemporary craft brewing movement.

What is a Saison?

Saisons are Belgian farmhouse ales with 5–8% ABV and IBU 20–35. Spicy, fruity yeast — pepper, citrus, hay — with high carbonation and a dry refreshing finish.

Recommended for this style

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.
