This is our reimagining of a rustic agrarian beer style from the French-speaking Wallonian region of southern Belgium. Brewed with fresh zested oranges and Bridgehead organic Earl Grey tea, Dominion City Earl Grey Marmalade Saison pours a distinctive rusty copper colour with a delicious bergamot aroma . Flavours include contrasting fruity, spicy and tart notes with phenolic and fruity esters complementing a dry, moderately bitter finish. It all adds up to one deliciously unique and refreshing pint! Earl Grey Marmalade Saison is brewed with organic wheat grown and malted in small batches a stone's throw from Ottawa. Dominion City also works with local hop producers who are reinvigorating our province's lost and once-great hop-growing traditions. Saison was an essential component for the harvest on pre-industrialized farms, which relied on back-breaking labour and many hands. With potable water often unavailable in far flung rural areas, Wallonian farmers turned to brewing Saison as a drinkable beverage to offer their seasonal workers, known as "les saisonniers," who essentially survived on this easy drinking beverage over the hot summer months. Cheers!
