Saison Sayuri

◎ Aussehen

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass in delicate patterns. The beer is brightly carbonated, with a steady stream of fine bubbles rising through the clear body. The lacing persists through the drink, leaving thin rings of foam on the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced spice notes—white pepper, coriander, and subtle herbal character from the witbier yeast fermentation. Beneath lies a clean wheat presence with delicate citrus notes suggesting yuzu or grapefruit zest, accompanied by a faint honey sweetness from the Japanese rock candy. The overall impression is restrained and aromatic rather than assertive.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens dry and crisp, with the wheat providing a soft, grainy foundation complemented by subtle citrus brightness. Mid-palate is clean and mineral-driven, with barely detectable residual sweetness—the finishing gravity of 1.8 Plato ensures genuine dryness. The 22 IBU contribute a restrained bitterness that frames rather than dominates, allowing the yeast-driven spice and citrus notes to remain prominent.

◑ Abgang

The finish is short to medium and distinctly dry, with the wheat character lingering briefly before fading to a clean, neutral aftertaste. No lingering sweetness or harshness—the beer simply refreshes.
