C'est Toujours l'Été Quelque Part

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass with visible lacing. The carbonation is lively and well-integrated, creating a bright, inviting visual presence characteristic of the style.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with citrus and tropical fruit notes from the Motueka, Waimea and New Zealand Cascade hops—lemon zest, stone fruit, and a subtle passionfruit character. Behind the bright hop profile, white pepper and floral undertones from the saison yeast emerge, layered with a dry, herbal edge that invites the palate.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with assertive hop bitterness balanced by a lean, mineral dryness that prevents sweetness from dominating. Oats provide just enough body to frame the citrus and tropical hop flavors without adding richness; the saison yeast contributes spice and a crisp, slightly peppery bite that drives the beer forward through the mid-palate.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and quenching, with lingering bitterness and a white-pepper dryness that leaves the mouth refreshed rather than coated. The high attenuation ensures a bone-dry close, making this an ideal aperitif beer.

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.
