Saison 7 º 30 IBU

Bird Brewery

Speciaalscholver presents as a robust, highly attenuated Saison that masterfully balances rustic yeast character with a sharp, botanical edge. The signature dry and spicy profile is driven by a traditional Belgian yeast strain, throwing off notes of cracked black pepper and bright citrus esters. This spiciness is intentionally amplified by the addition of ginger, which provides a zesty, warming zing that integrates seamlessly with the earthy, floral Continental hops. At 7% ABV, it offers a more substantial body than a table beer, yet maintains an effervescent, bone-dry finish that invites another sip, showcasing a complex interplay between fermentation-driven phenols and ginger spice.

Appearance. Pours a hazy, deep gold to pale orange (SRM 6-9) with a long-lasting, dense, rocky white head that leaves significant Belgian lace on the glass. Highly effervescent with visible rising carbonation.

Aroma. High intensity aromatic profile featuring a mix of fruity-spicy yeast esters and botanical notes. Moderate citrus and pome fruit esters are complemented by a distinct ginger zest and black pepper phenolics. Low, grainy malt and a faint floral, earthy Continental hop character provide a supporting base.

Taste. Initial impression is very dry with a soft, grainy malt palate. A complex balance of fruity esters and peppery yeast phenols is enhanced by the sharp, spicy flavor of ginger. Hop bitterness is moderate to firm, accentuated by the high attenuation. The finish is bone-dry and refreshing, with a lingering spicy aftertaste of ginger and pepper.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with very high carbonation, creating a prickly, effervescent sensation on the tongue. Provides a light, well-integrated alcohol warmth befitting its strength, without any harshness or astringency.
