Happy Fucking Bloody Saison
Saison - 6.3º - 40 IBU
La Pirata Brewing
This French Saison presents a vibrant and botanical interpretation of the style, integrating hibiscus flowers and mace for a deeply layered sensory profile. The aroma opens with moderate floral esters and a distinct citrus-like tartness, complemented by the nutmeg-like warmth and woody spice of the mace. On the palate, a soft, grainy malt backbone supports the bright, slightly acidic character of the hibiscus, while the French Saison yeast provides subtle peppery phenols. The finish is remarkably dry and effervescent, yet punctuated by a unique, lingering sweet anise-like note derived from the mace. It masterfully balances rustic farmhouse charm with a complex, exotic botanical finish.
