This Hoppy Saison presents a modern twist on the classic farmhouse profile, defined by a vibrant dry hopping of Mosaic and Citra. These hops infuse the glass with an aromatic burst of mango, grapefruit, and subtle blueberry, which intertwine seamlessly with the yeast’s characteristic peppery phenols and orchard fruit esters. Its rustic, grainy malt backbone provides a soft base for the high attenuation to shine, leading to an incredibly dry and crisp finish. Effervescent and bright, it balances the traditional spicy complexity of a Saison with the bold, tropical hop-forward character typical of contemporary craft innovation.
Appearance.Pale gold to light orange (approx. 6 SRM). Displays a large, dense, rocky white head with excellent retention and significant Belgian lacing. Unfiltered with a slight to moderate haze.
Aroma.High intensity. Dominant hop notes of tropical fruit (mango, papaya) and citrus (grapefruit, lime) from the Citra and Mosaic. Moderate spicy phenols (black pepper) and fruity esters (pear, lemon) from the yeast. Low grainy, crackery malt.
Taste.Initial impression is bright and fruity. Strong hop flavors of citrus and tropical fruit mirror the aroma, supported by a medium-low grainy malt sweetness. Moderate hop bitterness that feels amplified by the very dry, highly attenuated finish. Peppery yeast character and a hint of lime zest provide complexity. Aftertaste is dry and spicy.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with very high, effervescent carbonation. Light, well-integrated alcohol warmth. Crisp and refreshing without astringency.
