Gooisch Saison
A peppery, spicy saison made with St. Jans rye, a special rye grown and harvested on the old fields of Laren. It owes its name to the harvest around St John's Day on 24 June, and the beer came about together with the Stichting Oude Landbouwgewassen Laren, a foundation for old crops. 6% ABV, 28 IBU.
