To Øl

This sophisticated Saison reveals an intricate sensory landscape, led by the vibrant, succulent aroma of fresh nectarines. A rustic grain bill of barley, nutty spelt, and raw Ølands wheat provides a soft, cereal foundation for the spicy and floral contributions of Saaz and Hallertauer Saphir hops. Five months of maturation in French oak foeders introduces a delicate tannic grip and faint woody vanilla, which beautifully balances the moderate peppery phenols and natural fruit tartness. Exceptionally dry and highly attenuated, the beer finishes with an effervescent sparkle and a lingering, bone-dry aftertaste characteristic of artisanal farmhouse ales.

Appearance. Pale gold with orange highlights (6-8 SRM); dense, rocky, long-lasting ivory head with excellent lacing; hazy clarity due to the use of raw Ølands wheat and spelt grains.

Aroma. High intensity stone fruit esters (nectarine) blended with moderate peppery phenols; hop character is moderate with floral and spicy notes of Saaz and Hallertauer Saphir; low grainy-sweet malt and a hint of vanilla-like oak maturation.

Taste. Initial burst of fresh nectarine and citrus esters; soft, grainy malt palate from the spelt and wheat; moderate hop bitterness and spicy hop flavor; highly attenuated and bone-dry finish with a lingering peppery and slightly tannic wood character.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body; very high carbonation providing an effervescent, prickly sensation; low alcohol warmth; slight tannic astringency from French oak; creamy texture from raw grains.
