Our Saison au Miel small batch kit is designed to give you tons of flavor in a small package. The agrarian roots of honey beer shine through in this uniquely expressive beer, with notes of black pepper, exotic spice, a long dry finish, and boastful fruity yeast aromatics. A perfect beer for spring and summer, saisons have a tolerance for higher fermentation temperatures, and even get better the warmer they ferment!
We strongly recommend ordering dry yeast in the summer months. We do include complimentary ice packs with all liquid yeasts, but it is difficult to guarantee that the ice packs will survive the trip given transit times and particularly hot temperatures.
This was likely my favorite beer I ever brewed. The saison came out as I had hoped, dry and a bit floral and spicy. The carbonation fizz drops seemed to work pretty well. The beer was a bit hazy as home brews tend to be for amateurs like myself but I didn’t cold crash which would have likely helped. Overall this was a great kit. I had fun brewing with my gf during quarantine and it tasted very good. Looking forward to sharing what we have left.

Shocked at the FABULOUS results - Saison au Miel
This Saison brew was my second homebrew I've done and I am blown away by the awesome flavor! Northern Brewer does not disappoint!

Great little intro Saison
I bought this as my first foray into Belgian style beers. Like all of NB's recipe kits, it was spot on. I did however make some alterations. I substituted the last 15 minutes with 3.5g of citra and 3.5g of galaxy. This gave the beer a crazy tropical fruit flavor that melded nicely with the dry finish of the beer. I would say the finished product is about what you can probably expect from an extract beer. I didn't have the head retention that I expect from the style, however, this may be do to user error considering this was my third beer that I have ever brewed. Definitely did not disappoint.

Would have liked if a sanitizer was included in the kit.

This was very good once allowed to condition long enough. This ended up heavily carbonated from just the carbonation drops.
