Effingut Breweries

This session-strength Saison showcases a rustic Belgian character elevated by the distinctive Sorachi Ace hop. A vivid citrus-forward profile leads with bright notes of lemon zest and lemongrass, intertwined with the hop’s signature herbal and dill-like nuances. The fermentation contributes a peppery spice that complements the hop’s herbal edge, all supported by a faint, grainy malt backbone. Exceptionally dry and highly attenuated, it offers a crisp, refreshing experience. The interplay between the Japanese Sorachi Ace hops and the expressive yeast creates a complex aromatic tapestry, finishing with a firm, cleansing bitterness and a lingering spicy aftertaste.

Appearance. Pale gold with a slight orange hue; hazy clarity with a dense, rocky white head that leaves persistent Belgian lace.

Aroma. High intensity; prominent aromas of lemon curd and fresh dill from Sorachi Ace hops, layered over spicy black pepper phenols and subtle pome fruit esters. A faint, crackery, grainy malt scent lingers in the background.

Taste. Initial impression is bone-dry and effervescent. Dominant flavors of lemon peel and herbal tea reflect the Sorachi Ace character, balanced by a moderate hop bitterness. The yeast provides a sharp peppery bite and light pear-like fruitiness. The finish is very dry, clean, and refreshing with a lingering spicy-herbal aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Light body with very high, prickly carbonation. No alcohol warmth is detected, contributing to its sessionable nature. Crisp and highly refreshing without any astringency.
