Flügge Fidi is a rustic and vibrant Saison that captures the essence of a summer meadow. The addition of freshly mown hay infuses the aroma with distinctive sun-dried grass and herbal notes, perfectly complementing the spicy black pepper and citrus esters of the Belgian Saison yeast. The fermentation with Brettanomyces adds a sophisticated layer of dry, earthy funk and leather that develops into a complex sensory profile. On the palate, it is exceptionally dry and effervescent, showcasing a soft, grainy malt backbone. High attenuation leads to a crisp, bitter finish where the herbal hay and spicy yeast notes linger elegantly.
