IV Saison

Brasserie de Jandrain-Jandrenouille • Walloon Brabant Belgium

Top Fermentation Bottle Conditioned● 6.5% ABV

Proof that the saison tradition is still being written. Two former brewing-industry men, Alexandre Dumont de Chassart and Arnaud Thomee, started this farmhouse brewery at Orp-Jauche in 2008 and made their reputation on this first beer: unfiltered, unpasteurised, bottle refermented, and generously dry hopped in a way older saisons never were.

Best fresh. Brightest young, though rustic classics can hold a while.

Story & Heritage

ABOUT THIS BEER

Proof that the saison tradition is still being written. Two former brewing-industry men, Alexandre Dumont de Chassart and Arnaud Thomee, started this farmhouse brewery at Orp-Jauche in 2008 and made their reputation on this first beer: unfiltered, unpasteurised, bottle refermented, and generously dry hopped in a way older saisons never were.

On the Saison style, Farmhouse ale traditionally brewed for harvest workers. Highly carbonated, fruity, spicy, and bone-dry. Often rustic and thirst-quenching.

Glassware & Ritual

The Tulip
THE TULIP

For aromatic Belgian ales

The tulip's flared lip captures the foamy head while the bulb concentrates the beer's volatile aromatics, made for swirling and savouring.

01

Chill the glass

Rinse with cold water, not freezer-cold

02

Pour at 45°

Aim for the inside of the glass wall

03

Finish upright

Build a two-finger head for the bouquet

04

Swirl, sip, savour

Re-release the esters halfway through

THE MONK'S NOTE

Pour it into a tulip, served around 8-12°C, and let its aromatics open before the first sip. Enjoy it fresh and lively; there is little to gain from waiting.
