This Saison is a vibrant fusion of rustic Belgian tradition and modern American hop intensity. Featuring US-grown Sorachi Ace hops, it presents a complex profile led by bold splashes of tropical fruit and distinct tangerine citrus. The Somerset Saison character shines through with a well-seasoned spiciness reminiscent of cracked black pepper, driven by a specialty farmhouse yeast. Crisp and zesty, the beer balances a tangy, bittersweet fruitiness against a dry, effervescent finish. This transcontinental approach ensures a refreshing experience where artisanal West Country brewing meets the feisty, citrus-forward aromatics of North American hops.
Appearance.Pale gold with a slight hazy luminescence; topped by a dense, rocky, long-lasting ivory head that leaves persistent Belgian lace.
Aroma.Moderate to high intensity with a complex bouquet of tropical fruit and zesty lemon from Sorachi Ace. Significant peppery phenols and spicy yeast esters provide a classic farmhouse backdrop, supported by a low, soft, grainy malt aroma.
Taste.The initial impression is a wash of tangy tangerine and citrus, followed by a mid-palate of bittersweet fruitiness. Highly attenuated and very dry, the flavor transitions into a lingering, spicy finish with moderate bitterness. Grainy malt notes remain subtle, allowing the yeast and hop interplay to dominate.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with very high, effervescent carbonation that creates a crisp, refreshing prickle on the tongue. No noticeable alcohol warmth, finishing clean and bright.
