STYLE OF THE MONTH

This month’s style is:

Saison / Farmhouse Ale

Saisons are a sturdy farmhouse ale that was traditionally brewed in the winter, to be consumed throughout the summer months. Not so long ago it was close to being an endangered style, but over recent years there's been a massive revival; especially in the US. This is a very complex style; many are very fruity in the aroma and flavor. Look for earthy yeast tones, mild to moderate tartness. Lots of spice and with a medium bitterness. They tend to be semi-dry with many only having touch of sweetness.

Examples:

Brasserie Dupont Foret (USDA Organic) – 750ml Bottle
Southampton Saison Deluxe – 750ml Bottle
St. Feuillien Saison – 750ml Bottle
