Barn Owl No. 11

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent head that clings to the glass in delicate lacing. The carbonation is moderate and refined, creating a soft effervescence rather than aggressive bubbling. Light strikes through cleanly, suggesting a well-balanced fermentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with distinctive floral notes—lavender and wildflower predominate without sharpness, supported by soft honey undertones from the Rosewood Estates contribution. Subtle herbal complexity emerges beneath, with gentle spice suggestions that recall white pepper. The barrel aging has integrated smoothly, adding only whispers of oak warmth without dominance.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is soft and inviting, with the saison's classic yeast character playing against the floral and honey elements in deliberate equilibrium. Mid-palate remains gentle and dry, avoiding any cloyness despite the honey presence; the spice builds subtly toward the back, suggesting pepper and white pepper rather than heat. Bitterness is restrained and supportive, never aggressive, allowing the aromatic elements to remain in focus.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and dry, with the spice lingering gently as the floral notes fade. A whisper of pepper persists in the aftertaste without any warming sensation, leaving the palate poised and ready for the next sip.

Serviertemperatur 6–9°C für das beste Geschmacks- und Aromaprofil.
