Saison / Farmhouse Ale

Originally brewed in the south of Belgium, the Saison (French for "seasons") was originally brewed toward the end of winter in order to last through the warmer months.

Ranging in color from golden to orange, these beers have a wide variety of flavors. The malt sweetness is moderate to low, with a mild hop bitterness and an earthy, citrus, and floral flavors and aromas from the local yeast used. Still relatively crisp and light - perfect for the summer months.

Best served at cool to cellar temperatures, 46-57 degrees, in a stemmed tulip or large wine glass.

Inspired by the Farmhouse Ales of Belgium, this indigenous San Diego Saison is rich with the aromas and flavors of our local chaparral. Ingredients were inspired by what the Kumeyaay Indians might have been eating when Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo landed on Ballast Point in 1542.
