Saison 7.4 º 36 IBU

Brooklyn Brewery

This vibrant Strong Saison is a showcase for the singular Sorachi Ace hop, delivering an intense sensory profile defined by bright lemon zest, lemongrass, and a distinct herbal spiciness derived from its Saaz and Brewer's Gold lineage. Built upon a clean foundation of German Pilsner malt, the beer radiates a golden, sunshine-like glow. The brewery’s house Belgian yeast strain contributes a complex layer of peppery phenols and fruity esters that harmonize with the hop’s unique character. On the palate, the experience is incredibly dry and effervescent, where the lemony hop notes meet a soft, grainy malt backbone before finishing with a crisp, lingering bitterness.

Appearance. Pale gold (approx. 5-6 SRM) with a slight, unfiltered haze. Topped by a dense, rocky, long-lasting white head that leaves significant Belgian lace on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity aromatics lead with a punch of lemon peel and spicy, herbal lemongrass from the Sorachi Ace hops. The Belgian yeast contributes moderate peppery phenols and soft pome fruit esters, while the German Pilsner malt provides a light, grainy, cracker-like background.

Taste. Initial impression is bright and citrus-forward. Flavors of lemon zest and herbal spice dominate the mid-palate, supported by a clean, grainy malt character. Hop bitterness is moderate but accentuated by a very high attenuation, resulting in a bone-dry, crisp finish with a lingering peppery and lemony aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with very high carbonation that feels prickly and effervescent on the tongue. A light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, enhancing the beer's structural complexity without being harsh.
