Belgian Saison in CANS




St. Feuillien Saison....$10.99 / 4pk 11.2oz CANS
Saison by St. Feuillien
6.5% ABV, Dry-Hopped
St. Feuillien’s Saison is what the Belgians call a “beer of the terroir”; a traditional farmhouse ale with all the rich flavors of the fertile land of southern Belgium. The region of Hainault, where St. Feuillien is located, is the traditional home for this style of beer. It originated as a beer made by and for farmers. Thirst quenching, not too strong, and great with food.  Despite their long and storied history, Brasserie St. Feuillien has never made a beer in this style. But after 138 years they put together a knockout! Winner of the Best Saison in the 2009 World Beer Awards, this is a beer with the pedigree and the quality to become a classic in the
style.

Tasting Notes
A warm, golden blonde with a beautiful farmhouse character featuring hints of melon and apricot. Full-bodied, fruity and yeasty, Saison has a rugged, charming character with a lot more flavor than it’s 6.5% ABV
