Little Fred
A session saison that tastes maltier than its 3.7% ABV suggests, with a touch of funk from the farmhouse yeast. Easy to keep drinking. Little Fred is the beer that stands for the brewery's learning-work trainees: Maximus is a recognised learning-work company that gives people far from the job market a place to grow.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Little Fred
Serve at 8–12°C. Saison is refreshing but complex — cold works, but slightly warmer shows its farmhouse character.
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.

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.
