Elder Pine Villeinage Dry-hopped Table Saison

Elder Pine Villeinage Dry-Hopped Table Saison. 

4 % ABV. Brewed & canned by Elder Pine Brewing & Blending, Gaithersburg, Maryland. 

Highly clouded, bright golden-hued, slim white head. 


In the nose: Citrus & straw, some floral notes, bold lemon. Lovely stuff. 

In the mouth: Slight funk & moderate hops kick it off on the palate. Light bodied, easy drinking, with a rustic charm. Fairly juicy and fruity, with citrusy notes in the lead, stone fruit behind it, with a touch of banana. It rolls into a dry finish, with spelt and wheat malt aiding in the clean drinkability. 

Very nice, dry and tasty saison. A pity I only have the one, I could drink a few of these. 

Table-strength Saison brewed with an insane amount of Pilsen  spelt malt & raw wheat for the creamiest body a 4% abv beer can offer. Heavily dry-hopped w/ Pacific Jade from New Zealand at a staggering rate of 3lb/bbl for bright citrus notes that meld perfectly with the stone fruit, banana and bubblegum aromas & flavors derived from our house saison yeast. Bone dry, effervescent, and effortlessly drinkable.
