Saison de Banc Vert

◎ Aussehen

Pale straw yellow with exceptional clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass in delicate lace patterns. The carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, creating a gentle effervescence rather than aggressive bubbling. Light catches the beer cleanly, revealing its pale golden hue without haze or sediment.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with peppery phenolic notes characteristic of farmhouse yeast fermentation, complemented by bright citric esters reminiscent of lemon pith and dried fruit. Beneath lies a subtle earthy undertone with whispers of dried flowers and a soft, toasted oak presence that frames rather than dominates. The wood influence is restrained and elegant, allowing the yeast character to remain the primary voice.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is lean and structured, with a dry palate that refuses sweetness from the outset. Mid-palate develops layered spice — white pepper and subtle herbal notes — while the oak contributes a drying tannic quality and gentle vanilla backbone. Bitterness registers at a moderate, sophisticated level (23 IBU) that never becomes harsh, instead providing definition and balance to the dry, yeasty character.

◑ Abgang

The finish is crisp and lingering, with peppery warmth persisting alongside a breadlike, slightly earthy fade. The oak and yeast work in tandem to leave a clean, refreshing aftertaste without heaviness or cloying sweetness.

Bei 8–12°C servieren. Saison ist erfrischend aber komplex — kalt funktioniert, aber etwas wärmer zeigt den Farmhouse-Charakter.

Der Klassiker — vielseitig, angenehm zu halten und hält das Bier kühl. Kein Schnickschnack: nur das Bier.
