Product details

Deceptively dark and beguilingly complex, this holiday specialty is brewed in the tradition of Belgian farmhouse ales. Unlike most saisons, intended to refresh and sustain farmers doing manual labor, this one is engineered to complement rich holiday fare and sustain you through long winter nights. A generous malt bill with highlights of butter toffee, chocolate, dark fruit, and bread tangles with the earthy, spicy funk of Wyeast French Saison strain and a single addition of bittering hops to strike an evolving balance.

The porter-like color tricks your palate into expecting burnt, roasty notes and perhaps even a full body, but the reality that hits your mouth is a lean, attenuated beer with a snappy, estery, slightly tart edge and a warming, peppery finish. No spices here - all the complexity comes from malt, yeast, and your skill as a brewer! Brew now for Christmas, and stash away at least a six-pack of this age-worthy saison to enjoy on into the spring.

This was a great first brew to brew to get back into home brewing after a year hiatus.

Favorite Xmas brew. Fermented to 9%. 1.074/1.006. Drank half the keg and storing rest in closet for next year. Will be even better than. 👍👍🎄

Tastes like a Belgian

Definitely taste like a Belgian ale. I think I was expecting the alcohol content to be a little higher than it is. I didn't measure the specific gravity so I don't know what the alcohol content is, but I don't think it is over 5%. I didn't use a yeast starter. Perhaps that would have helped somewhat.

Saison de Noel Christmas Beer

Entire process was easy. Everything went really well. The ABV came out to
7.8. Bottled middle of June 2022, can’t wait for Christmas. The aroma was
excellent. Great recipe, thanks NB.
