Cambridge Le Saisonniere - Gin Barrel Aged
Brewer: Cambridge Brewing Company
Style: Saison / Farmhouse / Grisette
Alcohol Content: 4%
Seasonal: No
Description:
Saisons (pronounced “say-zohns”) are refreshingly crisp, dry beers traditionally brewed in the French-speaking southern part of Belgium known as Wallonia. Originally brewed for summertime consumption, they are now year-round standards at the family table. Le Saisonniere was brewed in the style of a grisette and named in honor of the saisonnieres, seasonal farm workers who toiled in the summer sun and were rewarded with and refreshed by this thirst-quenching beer. These were historically brewed to a lower alcohol content despite the recent industry precedent to create much stronger saisons.
Our grisette is a hazy gold from a complex grist of organic pilsner and wheat malts, oats, rye, and buckwheat. Subtly hopped with Spalt and Hallertauer hops which contribute balance and a hint of floral character, though the grains are really on display. Tart fruity, spicy grain flavors come from the rye and buckwheat and are bolstered by spice notes and hints of citrus from our special house Belgian yeast strain.
A session beer with Belgian ancestry, this seemingly simple biére de table is surprisingly complex. Served in a traditional tulip glass to emphasize the glowing effervescence and special nature of this delightful little beer.
