Description:
Saison is a style with very humble beginnings as a tablr beer brewed in the farmhouses of Wallonia. A Saison is brewed using more hops than other Belgian styles, making it a very durable beer. Traditionally brewed in spring, it was meant to last through the summer and autumn.
We brew our Saison with traditional, continental ingredients, using a sour mash of Weyermann floor-malted Pilsner Malt, Wheat, and Toasted Wheat. We finish with a healthy addition of Saaz hops, dry hop with our propietary blend of Estate Hops (CT grown in our New Hartford Hopyard) and spice with a light touhc of Black Peppercorns. We then ferment with a renowned Saison yeast, which adds subtle hints of bubble gum, clove and fuity esters to the aroma and flavor.
We partnered with wineries on the CT wine trail to source an assortment of wine barrels from Chamard, Hopkins, and Jonathan Edwards wineries. Each type of barrel contributes its own flavor and aroma, which blends to create a truly unique Saison.
A true "cellaring" beer, our Saison will delight as a fresh bottle, and will develop new flavors, aromas, and complexity as it ages.
