Saison 4.1 º 35 IBU

Beavertown Brewery

Quelle is a vibrant, session-strength Saison that bridges the gap between traditional farmhouse brewing and modern hop-forward styles. Utilizing a distinctive French Saison yeast, the aroma leads with a sophisticated blend of cracked black pepper and zesty lemon esters. A generous dry hop addition imparts a pokey punch of citrus and tropical fruit more reminiscent of a contemporary Pale Ale. This golden-hued ale presents a bone-dry palate where soft, grainy malts are quickly overtaken by a firm bitterness and snappy carbonation. It concludes with a clean, crisp finish, emphasizing the refreshing, rustic character of a highly attenuated farmhouse pale.

Appearance. Pale gold with a slight hazy shimmer from the dry hopping; topped by a dense, rocky white head that leaves persistent Belgian lace.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity featuring a bright citrus and stone fruit hop character, interwoven with French Saison yeast notes of black pepper, clove, and subtle earthy spice. Light, grainy malt sweetness sits quietly in the background.

Taste. Initial impression is crisp and refreshing. A soft, grainy malt backbone supports vibrant flavors of lemon zest and herbal hops. The fermentation character is notably peppery and spicy. Bitterness is moderate to firm, leading to a very dry, clean, and highly attenuated finish with a lingering spicy-floral aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Light-bodied and highly effervescent with prickly carbonation. No alcohol warmth is present given the sessionable strength. Extremely crisp with no lingering sweetness or astringency.
