Hiver

◎ Appearance

Hiver presents a hazy golden-amber hue that catches the light with an inviting warmth. A soft, creamy head settles across the surface with gentle retention, creating fine white lacing as the beer is consumed. The haziness speaks to the farmhouse tradition, while the color suggests a light caramel Malz base layered with complexity.

◌ Aroma

The nose greets you with earthy farmhouse funk—a characteristic Brett-like rusticity anchors the profile. Beneath this lie gentle spice notes and dried herbs, with whispers of stone fruit adding subtle brightness. A bready undertone emerges, rounded out by the subtle complexity that yeast fermentation brings to a farmhouse expression.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with satisfying bready malt warmth, establishing a solid foundation of grain sweetness. Mid-palate reveals the yeast-driven complexity characteristic of the style—a dry, refined rusticity with herbal and spicy edges that build slowly. Bitterness is restrained at 25 IBU, allowing the malt and fermentation character to lead while maintaining balance and drinkability.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with soft bitterness giving way to pleasant earthiness that persists on the palate. The farmhouse character remains present to the very end, making this ale a warming, contemplative sip.
