Saison Rue

 ABV 8.5%, IBU 28, SRM 7

Beer Description

Saison Rue is an unfiltered, bottle conditioned, Belgian/French-style farmhouse ale.  This beer is of subtlety and complexity, with malted rye, spicy, fruity yeast notes, biscuit-like malt backbone and a slight citrus hop character.  With age, this beer will dry out and will become more complex with rustic notes of leather and earth from the contribution of a wild yeast strain.  Being a saison, Saison Rue is ambiguous unto itself as it is a different beer when fresh versus when aged.
