Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Elli
◎ Appearance
Elli presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent head. The carbonation is lively, generating steady streams of fine bubbles that leave delicate lacing on the glass as you drink.
◌ Aroma
The nose opens with bright citrus peel—distinctly grapefruit—underscored by gentle floral notes from the whole cone hopping. Beneath lies a soft, grainy maltiness from the spelt that provides textural warmth without heaviness, followed by a whisper of herbal undertone.
◐ Taste
The palate entry is crisp and refreshing, with the citrus character playing against a soft, slightly sweet spelt base. Mid-palate brings a gentle herbal bite and the light peppery spice signature of the Saison style, all balanced by moderate bitterness from the whole cone additions.
◑ Finish
The finish is dry and clean, with the citrus and herbal notes lingering gently on the palate. A light peppery tingle fades smoothly, leaving a refreshing, thirst-quenching aftertaste.

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.
Finding a similar Saison
