Saison D'Epautre
Saison D'Épaultre — Saison with Ancient Spelt — Brasserie de Blaugies
Saison D'Épaultre is the Belgian Saison with ancient spelt crafted by Brasserie de Blaugies, a craft brewery founded in 1988 by Alex and Marie-Noëlle Carlier Pourtois in Dour (Hainaut, Belgium). A Saison-style beer that presents itself in the glass with a opaque golden color and a significant head of foam. On the nose, it surprises with its aromas, ranging from fruity and spicy notes to floral notes of wildflowers, even reminiscent of hay. The ancient spelt — épaultre in French — gives it a unique and unrepeatable aromatic complexity.
