Fermier Vintage 2025

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with slight haze from wild yeast conditioning. The head forms with moderate density and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, creating a soft sparkle rather than aggressive effervescence.

◌ Aroma

Oak dominates the nose with warm vanilla and subtle wood spice, layered beneath which live yeasty, funky notes—some cellar must and gentle tartness from the wild microflora. A wheat-forward grain character sits underneath, dry and slightly earthy, with hints of white pepper and herbal spice.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with soft wheat malt and a light yeasty texture, quickly joined by oak extraction and subtle tannin structure. Mid-palate brings bracing acidity and funky, farmhouse-like complexity—barnyard undertones without aggression. Spice (black pepper, clove) emerges cleanly, while the overall character stays crisp and dry despite the 7% strength.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and relatively short, lingering with drying oak notes and a faint funky, yeasty echo. Aftertaste remains crisp, never cloying, with a light peppery tail.

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.
