Silly Saison Village

Tap to rate

Organic blonde saison at 5.5% ABV, inspired by a family recipe from 1850 and a tribute to founder Marcellin Meynsbrughen, who brewed for seasonal farm workers. Light grain and citrus come with gentle spice, a fine bitterness and a dry finish. Barley malt and Kent and Hallertau hops all come from organic farming.

◌ Aroma

Delicate citrus notes emerge first, reminiscent of lemon and white grapefruit, supported by a gentle herbal spice character. Beneath lies a soft, understated grain foundation from organic barley malt. A subtle yeasty undertone adds complexity without dominating.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with bright, crisp citrus and a fine noble-hop bitterness that unfolds gradually across the mid-palate. Orchard fruit and white pepper spice complement the lean, dry malt character. The 28 IBU settle into a refined, elegant bitterness that never overwhelms.

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.
