Belgian Saison

Bitter Orange • Bergamot • Anise
5.7% ABV

A cider true to the Belgian farmhouse saison style. Made with organic orange and orange peel, bergamot, star anise and other aromatics of the style.   It is very aromatic with the citrus, star anise and bergamot coming through in layers on a backbone of aromatic hops.  The predominance of each of these aromatic notes seem to be ranked differently by different people.  While each of the aromatics is definitely there, no single one predominates or overpowers. It was easy to arrive at our blend of these aromatics in that they have been used for hundreds of years in Belgian saisons—we just needed to make sure we didn’t overdo them.  Citrus and floral but not frilly is the short description of this cider.
