Granum is a complex and rustic Saison that showcases a deep, five-grain grist profile integrated with savory botanicals. The aroma is a vibrant tapestry of peppery yeast esters, earthy sage, and floral thyme, layered over a soft, grainy sweetness. On the palate, the multiple cereals provide a textured, rustic foundation that supports bright citrus notes and a distinct herbal character. The finish is remarkably dry and effervescent, leaving a lingering impression of garden herbs and a crisp, peppery spice. This farmhouse ale masterfully balances the savory elements of thyme and sage with a classic Belgian fermentation profile, delivering a refreshing yet profoundly layered sensory experience.
