K.E.G.S.

This French Rye Saison presents a sophisticated interplay of rustic grain and expressive fermentation. The use of Rye introduces a distinctive spicy, grainy complexity that bolsters the signature French Saison yeast profile, characterized by bright pome fruit esters and a subtle peppery phenolic edge. Continental hops provide a floral and earthy backdrop, while the high attenuation ensures a bone-dry finish. A refreshing bite from the rye ensures crisp drinkability, staying true to its Wallonian heritage. It is a vibrant, effervescent ale where the interplay of spicy cereal notes and fruity yeast creates a layered, highly refreshing sensory experience.

Appearance. Pale gold to deep amber (6–10 SRM) with a slight haze common to rye-based beers. Features a dense, rocky, long-lasting ivory head that leaves persistent Belgian lace. Highly effervescent.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity with a complex aromatic mix. Dominant fruity-spicy yeast notes of crisp apple, pear, and cracked black pepper. The rye adds a distinct earthy, spicy graininess. Hops are moderate, leaning toward floral and spicy continental varieties. Clean fermentation with no fusel alcohol.

Taste. Initially crisp and grainy with a soft pome fruit sweetness that quickly transitions to a spicy, peppery character. The rye provides a signature spicy bite and rustic depth. Hop bitterness is moderate but feels firm due to the exceptionally dry, highly attenuated finish. Hop flavors are earthy and floral. The aftertaste is lingeringly dry with a spicy grain character.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with very high carbonation, creating a prickly, effervescent sensation. A light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present. The rye adds a slight, pleasant silkiness despite the dryness, with no harsh astringency.
