Hoppy Saison 19°

Bière de Saison is a pale ale with roots in Wallonia, a French-speaking part of Belgium. This beer style is several centuries old and is extraordinary mainly thanks to its yeasts that ferment at very high temperature and are capable of fermenting even every saccharide of the wort. The deep high-temperature fermentation grants the beer a fruity flavour and high alcohol content. The Wallon farmers brewed this beer in the autumn and winter seasons and drunk it during their summer field work. An average farmer was said to be able to drink up to 7 litres of such beer. It is of a notice that even a light beer of the original gravity of 13% contains more than 6% ABV. We prepared a stronger boozier winter edition with the alcohol content of nearly 10% ABV and we used dry-hopping by refreshing American hop varieties with their citrusy-coniferous aromas to potentiate the taste of the beer. The combination of caramel body and deep fermentation with rich dry-hopping gives rise to a beer worth a try. We just do not recommend to play a Wallon farmer by drinking 7 litres of it in a day.
