This low-alcohol Saison, styled as a traditional Grisette, offers an exceptionally refreshing farmhouse profile. Foudre aging imparts a rustic, earthy complexity and a whisper of woody tannin that balances the beer's delicate, lightly tart character. Conditioned with honey, it displays a floral elegance rather than residual sweetness, as the fermentation remains bone-dry. Effervescent carbonation lifts notes of crisp pome fruit and cracked black pepper. The use of cereal grains provides a soft, hazy structure, making this an approachable yet nuanced expression of native fermentation that emphasizes drinkability without sacrificing the depth of its wild, barrel-aged heritage.
Appearance.Pale straw (3 SRM) with a slight haze from being unfiltered. Topped by a dense, rocky, long-lasting white head that leaves significant Belgian lace. Highly effervescent with vigorous, rising bubbles.
Aroma.Moderate intensity featuring a blend of spicy black pepper and fruity esters reminiscent of green apple and Asian pear. A distinct rustic, earthy quality from foudre aging is present, alongside a delicate floral honey note. Low grainy malt character is complemented by a hint of lactic tartness.
Taste.Initial impression is bright and lightly tart, featuring a soft, grainy wheat-forward malt profile. Flavors of citrus zest and floral honey mingle with a low earthy wood character from the oak. Bitterness is low, allowing the crisp acidity to drive the balance. The finish is bone-dry and exceptionally clean with a lingering spicy, phenolic aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Light-bodied and lean with very high, prickly carbonation that provides an effervescent, Champagne-like texture. No alcohol warmth is perceived. Refreshing and crisp with a faint, pleasant astringency from foudre tannins.
