Belgian Saisons were traditionally brewed to slake the thirst of 19th century farmhands. Our Saison Royale uses authentic ingredients with a nod to that tradition while staying true to our own craft brewing roots. German Pilsner and North American Pale malts are paired with Vienna malt, making up the hearty malt bill for this brew. It is hopped with British East Kent Goldings and finished with Hallertauers from the Tettnang growing region in Germany, adding a spicy, clean hop finish. We fermented the beer with a Saison yeast strain to provide the spicy, earthy character familiar to the style. To accompany this character, we added white pepper and Rosemary during the brewing, which adds depth and complexity to this celebratory brew. The result is a truly complex and rich Saison, with a noble hop character and a spicy finish. Fit for a king, better enjoyed with Friends. Original Released: August 2009. 19° 25IBUs

    Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

    Dried herbs, sweet honey, fresh cut grass and a hint of peppermint in the aroma. Great color with a lasting 1" thick head, heavy lacing, and amazing carbonation. Zesty, bubbly, filling and slow sipping. Has some heat to it, but sips fairly nicely. Spicy flavor with lots of herbs (basil, rosemary, mint) coupled by plenty of doughy and biscuit malts. A noble hop push provides a hint of flavor but little bitterness as this beer is on the dry and sweet side. Big honey aspect, boozy and mind bending. One bottle at a time, and it’s still a tall order.
