Beau Rivage

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a delicate, fine-bubbled head that settles to a thin persistent ring. The beer presents as bright and inviting, with clean visual presence that speaks to its mixed-culture conditioning and careful handling. Carbonation appears gentle and well-integrated.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced floral character—borage, chamomile and violet flowers dominate the front, creating an herbaceous and slightly perfumed quality. Beneath lies a subtle peppery spiciness typical of saison yeasts, mingled with clean, slightly grassy notes from fermentation. A gentle herbal tea-like quality emerges with further aeration.

◐ Geschmack

The palate is dry and crisp, with the floral character translating cleanly from aroma into a gently spiced, herbal mid-palate. Low bitterness (28 IBU) allows the adjunct flowers and herbs to shine without competition, while the mixed culture yeast contributes a restrained, clean complexity. The finish is clean and refreshing, without any roughness or astringency.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and moderately short, with the floral and herbal notes tapering gracefully. A subtle drying sensation lingers, characteristic of the saison style, without harshness.
