In the early farming season of Wallonia, the farm hands would sip a refreshing drink that would be later named "Saison". During the later parts of the work season, the temperatures would be at their highest, and the beers at their "funkiest". Without modern technology like refrigeration, these beers would develope acidity and some rather funky off flavors due to the storage conditions. They were dry, acidic and quenching to say the least. We wanted to re create the process in this beer,l (minus the major funk) by developing lactic acid and matching that with the breadiness of Sonoran White Wheat, and the unique profile of French Saison Yeast. Many of our favorite farmhouse Saisons utilize the dry hopping method to add a resinous depth, as we did with Jarrylo hops in this beer.

Funky aroma; nice tart taste with some nice lemony citrus notes. Light on yeast complexity. Aroma is of Gym socks. 86/100.
