Demonteller

Tap to rate

Demonteller is a mixed-culture saison hopped with Galaxy and Mosaic, fermented and aged in one of Holy Mountain's foudres. The large oak vessel gives it a delicate oak character that balances out a subtle acidity. It is a seasonal release from a brewery whose first beer was a barrel-fermented base, and it also travels in cans.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with subtle oak—vanilla and light wood spice—layered beneath stone fruit and citrus notes from the Galaxy and Mosaic hops. Beneath the fruit and hop character sits a restrained funk and earthy complexity from the mixed-culture fermentation, with faint herbal and peppery undertones.

◐ Taste

The palate opens crisp and dry, with the oak providing a gentle structural backbone rather than dominance. Galaxy and Mosaic hops deliver peppery spice and citrus bite, while a subtle vinous acidity and wild yeast complexity build in the mid-palate without becoming sharp or vinegary. The finish remains clean and refreshing, with lingering hop spice and a whisper of oak tannin.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium in length with a smooth, warming fade. Residual peppery hop character and delicate oak tannins linger alongside a faint acidity that keeps the aftertaste lively rather than weighty.

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.
