Spring is in the air, so we decided to welcome the sunny, warmer days with two new seasonal beers!
There is definetely something about characteristic Belgian yeast and Belgian style beers that call spring for us. The first warm days somehow always got us thinking of spicy, expressive , crisp and fruity Belgian
style beers.
That’s why in our May/June seasonal beer releases together with Citrus Witbier we decided to brew a classic Saison. We did this by using a multi-grain malt base, a blend of New Zealand Motueka and German Huell Melon hops and our two favorite saison yeast strains.
The beer effect of this combination is a classic Saison in which yeast aromas combine with fruity, lime, melon and strawberry hop notes creating a crisp, well-balanced, highly carbonated and drinkable beer perfect for celebrating the first sunny days of the year!
