◎ Appearance

Påskefrokost presents a pale golden hue with a distinctive soft haze throughout the body, characteristic of its Saison breeding.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced citrus notes—lime and grapefruit—layered with a gentle clove spiciness that speaks to the Saison yeast character. The five-hop blend (Ariana, Saphir, Simcoe, Centennial, Citra) weaves in herbal and resinous complexity without overwhelming the delicate floral undertones. A light, slightly peppery backdrop rounds out the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and dry, with citrus leading the charge across the palate. The mid-palate develops a defined bitterness alongside clove and light pepper notes, creating the intended IPA–Saison fusion; the hop bitterness is assertive yet balanced, never harsh. A subtle acidity emerges beneath, adding dimension and preventing the beer from becoming cloying.

Serve at 6–9°C

Serve at 8–12°C. Saison is refreshing but complex — cold works, but slightly warmer shows its farmhouse character.

Goblet

The wide mouth and heavy base promote head formation and channel rich aromatics toward the nose. Traditional for Belgian strong ales.

Drink within a year. Farmhouse character is liveliest when the beer is relatively young.
