Flavor Profile (Saison)

Saison is a Belgian-origin Farmhouse Ale! Historically brewed for farm workers, featuring spicy fermentation complexity. Award-winning Saisons like CooperSmith’s show exceptional craft!

That refreshing, soda-like crispness captures the Saison perfectly — an incredible GABF experience. Walking distance from New Belgium is a great bonus!
