Saison du Blé Blend #16

◎ Appearance

Pale straw to light golden hue, brilliantly clear with fine sediment visible in the bottle. The head builds with vigorous carbonation, settling into a persistent collar that clings to the glass with fine, delicate lacing. The overall impression is one of liveliness and refinement.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft wheat notes undercut by a bracing herbal and slightly peppery character from the saison yeast. A whisper of citrus and green apple emerges from the bottle, accompanied by a delicate hay-like, farmhouse quality that suggests wild fermentation and extended aging. Floral and slightly spicy esters dance across the top without dominating.

◐ Taste

The palate enters crisp and bone-dry, with a tart acidity that frames the entire experience. The mid-palate reveals the paradox: despite its dryness, the creamy, pillowy mouthfeel coats the tongue with an almost silken texture, creating dynamic tension. Wheat and yeast complexity build subtly, with a restless carbonation that keeps the beer alive and constantly shifting.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and clean, with the tartness gently fading into a lingering dry crispness. Carbonation persists to the very end, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for another sip.
