Fierce & Noble Cross Pollination
Saison 4.5 º
This collaborative Saison captures a summer meadow in a glass, marrying the rustic character of a farmhouse saison yeast with delicate honey sourced from the Wye Valley. It presents a light, funky profile that balances the floral sweetness of honey with a medium-dry finish. The sensory experience is defined by the aroma of wildflower meadows and a subtle, earthy funk. At a sessionable strength, it emphasizes refreshing drinkability while maintaining the complex spicy and fruity esters characteristic of the style. The integration of honey adds a gentle, nectar-like layer without cloying sweetness, resulting in a bright and effervescent celebration of seasonal ingredients.
Appearance. Pale gold (approx. 5 SRM) with a slight, farmhouse haze. It features a dense, rocky white head with excellent retention and persistent lacing. Highly effervescent with visible carbonation rise.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. The bouquet is dominated by fruity-spicy esters from the farmhouse saison yeast, offering notes of cracked black pepper and citrus zest. A distinct but gentle aroma of honey and wildflower meadows provides a floral sweetness, complemented by low, earthy hop notes and a subtle, rustic funk.
Taste. Initial impression is crisp and refreshing. Malt flavor is low and grainy, quickly overtaken by a complex fermentation profile of peppery phenols and pome fruit esters. The honey translates to a light floral nectar flavor rather than residual sugar, finishing medium-dry with a lingering, spicy bitterness. Hop flavor is low, presenting as herbal and earthy.
Mouthfeel. Light to medium-light body with very high carbonation, creating an effervescent and prickly sensation on the tongue. No alcohol warmth is perceived. Finishes clean and crisp with no detectable astringency.
