◐ Taste

The palate is bone-dry with a light, crisp body that carries citrus and herbal flavors into the mid-palate. A gentle bitterness emerges at mid-taste, balancing the aromatic hops without dominating. Subtle spice from fermentation lingers alongside a faint yeasty texture, creating a complex yet elegant drinking experience.

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.
