This session-strength Saison presents a refined, airy profile defined by its six-month maturation in oak. Delicate aromas of lemon zest and cracked white pepper mingle with a distinct, rustic earthiness and a whisper of vanillin from the wood. The palate is light-bodied and exceptionally dry, driven by a bright, refreshing tartness that replaces traditional hop bitterness. Grainy malt notes provide a soft backdrop for the complex interplay of old-world yeast phenolics and subtle tannins. Effervescent and crisp, it concludes with a clean, bone-dry finish that emphasizes its delicate fermentation character and nuanced barrel integration.
Appearance.Pale straw to light gold (4 SRM). Hazy with a persistent, dense, rocky white head that leaves significant Belgian lace. Highly effervescent.
Aroma.Moderate intensity with a complex blend of citrusy esters and spicy, peppery phenolics. A distinct earthy, damp-cellar funk is present alongside light, crackery malt and a subtle woody, vanilla note from the oak aging.
Taste.Initial impression of bright, lactic tartness followed by soft, grainy malt. Hop flavor is low, showing herbal and floral notes. High attenuation leads to a bone-dry finish with a lingering, spicy yeast character and a touch of oak tannin. Bitterness is low, balanced by acidity.
Mouthfeel.Light body with very high, prickly carbonation. No alcohol warmth. Crisp and refreshing with a slight tannic astringency from the barrel.
