A pre-modern Belgian style that was made in farmhouse breweries during spring. Saisons are brewed hoppy and fairly strong in order to keep through the summer, but these beers are fantastic all year long. A terrifically complex beer arising from the interaction of simple ingredients. Hops give a bracing bitterness and floral overtones, with striking spicy, peppery and earthy tartness from unique yeast. Serve in a wide-mouthed glass at cellar temperature to appreciate this beer full range of aromas and flavors.
Due to the high starting gravity of this kit, we recommend pitching multiple packs of yeast or preparing a yeast starter for best results.
I started fermenting at about 70 but re-read the yeast details so I slowly raised it up to 90. It never bubbled vigorously but did complete in 2 weeks. 10 days in secondary and bottled. It's a little sweet and has banana notes. I loVe it. 5.5% ABV

Good beer!
Good beer but I think I missed the timing on hop addition because it wasn't as flavorful as I'd expected. Could be user error though!
