We call this beer a Saison 45 as a tribute to Belgian brewing and best represent our intent. Many Belgian breweries include a number in the name of their beer which represents the strength of the wort prepared prior to fermentation. '45' refers to the strength of our wort we have prepared in specific gravity units (1.045). Saison 45 has a simple yet flavour malt profile containing barley, wheat, rye and oats and has been minimally hopped to showcase the flavour profile of the saison yeast strain used. In this iteration, we have used Escarpment Laboratories' very own Jotunn Saison strain. Jotunn was developed by breeding a Saison strain with a Norwegian Kveik strain to create a unique saison-type flavour profile with pleasant fruitiness with a bit of spice. as a healthy dose of Triticale for a silky texture and a peppery finish. Add in a hint of smoked grain and some White Labs yeast and you have a very approachable, yet complex beer.
