Barrel Aged Ed. 6 Saison Bourgogne

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright, vibrant transparency. The head forms quickly and holds with fine, persistent lacing that clings delicately to the glass walls. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, creating a gentle effervescence.

◌ Aroma

French oak and Burgundy Chardonnay influence dominate the nose, presenting vanilla, subtle oak spice, and a whisper of toasted wood. Beneath this sits a clean, grainy wheat character with bright citrus notes from the Citra hops—lemon zest and grapefruit pith—alongside delicate stone fruit. A gentle yeasty, spicy undertone rounds out the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens crisp and refreshing with soft wheat malt sweetness balanced by the wine-like acidity imparted from the oak aging. Mid-palate delivers pleasant wood tannins, citrus brightness, and a peppery, herbaceous spice from the saison yeast. The finish turns increasingly dry and clean, with lingering oak and a subtle mineral edge that prevents heaviness.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is crisp and moderately long, leaving behind impressions of toasted oak, bright acidity, and a dry, slightly peppery fade. The wood character persists gently without overwhelming the delicate balance of the beer.
