◐ Taste

The palate delivers a balanced interplay of fruit, spice, and controlled bitterness. Entry is clean and crisp with a slim body that remains elegant; mid-palate shows malt sweetness that bridges to a dry, hoppy finish. The 28 IBU bitterness is measured and refreshing rather than aggressive, allowing the yeast character and noble hop expression to shine.

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.
