Saison is a classical beer style from the north of Henegouwen and the south west of Brabant. These beers are light, fruity, sourish, amber coloured, refreshingly carbonated, and slightly bitter. They are brewed at a high temperature, releasing a high amount of unfermented sugars. Dry hopping and refermenting on the bottle are optional. Originally saison beer was brewed in winter to quench the thirst of the field labourers during the summer that followed. Saison beers are being brewed throughout the year nowadays, and some are also sweetish.
Average alcohol by volume (abv) range: 5.0-8.0%
