Monteith's Saison: A Refreshing Farmhouse Delight Monteith's Brewing, a renowned New Zealand brewery, has crafted a captivating Saison that embodies the essence of the farmhouse ale style. This refreshing and elegant brew boasts a crisp, effervescent mouthfeel, a tantalizing aroma, and a balanced finish that will delight the senses. Pouring a hazy golden hue and topped with a persistent frothy white head, Saison offers a tantalizing aroma of ripe apricots, citrus, and subtle spice notes. The fruity esters impart a sweet, slightly floral bouquet that invites exploration. On the palate, the first sip greets you with a burst of fruitiness, dominated by apricots and grapefruit. The acidity is well-balanced, providing a refreshing tartness that cuts through the sweetness, while subtle hints of coriander and pepper add an intriguing complexity to the flavor profile. The light and effervescent body of Saison, coupled with its lively carbonation, creates a prickly sensation on the tongue, contributing to its refreshing and easy-to-drink nature. The finish is dry and slightly bitter, with lingering notes of citrus and spice, providing a pleasant contrast to the sweetness of the fruit.
