Story & Heritage

ABOUT THIS BEER

A hoppy, bone-dry saison from De Ranke in Dottignies, the brewery known for assertive, bitter beers that pushed back against sweeter Belgian styles.

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

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.
