El Nino Saison

Description

Hop Federation Brewery's El Nino Saison is a captivating Saison-style beer that transports you to the lush landscapes of New Zealand. This 5.0% ABV offering pours a hazy golden hue, topped with a fluffy white head that slowly dissipates. The aroma is a harmonious blend of fruity notes, including citrus, peach, and apricot, intertwined with spicy hop aromas like pepper and clove, with subtle earthy and herbal undertones. The palate is a delightful balance of sweet and tart, opening with a burst of juicy citrus flavors, followed by hints of peach and apricot. The spicy hop character gradually emerges, adding a piquant kick with notes of pepper and clove, all balanced by a subtle sourness and a touch of malt sweetness. The medium-bodied and crisp mouthfeel is enhanced by a lively carbonation, creating a refreshing effervescence. The finish is dry and lingering, leaving a pleasantly spicy and fruity impression on the palate. This Saison is the perfect companion for warm weather or light dishes such as salads and grilled seafood, offering a thirst-quenching and well-balanced experience.
