◐ Taste

Entry is dry and crisp with an immediate peppery spice that dominates the mid-palate alongside peach and orchard fruit character. The Malz foundation is restrained and delicate, allowing the herbal complexity and peppery warmth to take center stage, while moderate bitterness (28 IBU) provides balance without assertiveness.

Serve at 6–9°C

Serve at 8–12°C. Saison is refreshing but complex — cold works, but slightly warmer shows its farmhouse character.

Pint glass

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.
