J'Adore MIEL - a Perennial on Lockwood Collaboration

Tap to rate

A collaboration with Perennial and Lockwood: once J'Adore — a wine-barrel fermented Missouri saison with honey and apricots — had been blended, a portion moved into a Missouri oak foeder. Meadowfoam honey and more apricots went in, and the beer refermented before bottling. 7 percent.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by meadowfoam honey and stone fruit—particularly ripe peach and apricot—layered with subtle floral notes and a whisper of oak from the Missouri foeder aging. Faint spice and yeast-derived complexity add depth without overwhelming the fruit and honey character.

◐ Taste

Honey and peach lead the palate with natural sweetness balanced by a dry, crisp mid-section. The oak and subtle spice emerge gradually, while the yeasty fermentation character provides a gentle complexity. The finish dries with a clean, mineral-like quality that keeps the beer refreshing despite its fruit-and-honey core.

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.
