The Saison (or Farmhouse Ale) is a French/Belgian style. It ranges in color from gold to dark amber. They are light to medium in body. The dominant quality in the aroma should be fruity esters, with hints of malt sweetness, spices, a slight sour character, and minimal alcohol. Hop presence in both aroma and flavor can vary widely within the style, from low to medium-high. Spice notes should be evident in both aroma and flavor, usually presenting as black pepper hints. Fruit flavors like dark fruits and bananas should also be noted, along with a very minimal hint of sour. ABV should range from 4.5% to 8.5%. IBUs should be in the range of 20-40. |
