{"product_id":"t-a-c","title":"T.A.C.","description":"\u003cp\u003eT.A.C. is a Saison born from a modern Belgian inspiration. A good cereal base is provided by Pilsner malt and wheat flakes, on which rest the spicy aromas of the yeast and the decidedly unorthodox ones of Chinook and Sorachi Ace hops: resin, grapefruit, mango, and coconut above all. The same hops are also responsible for the bitterness that elegantly finishes the sip. The moderate alcohol content (5.5% ABV) still sets it apart somewhat from more traditional Saisons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Contemporary Saison\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eT.A.C. represents the modern evolution of the Saison style, maintaining the structure and philosophy of Belgian seasonal beers while enriching them with American hops that have a bold and tropical character. The result is a beer that balances tradition and innovation, capable of satisfying both style purists and lovers of bolder interpretations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe La Casa di Cura Brewery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLa Casa di Cura is an Italian craft brewery known for its ability to reinterpret classic styles with creativity and respect.

The Saison yeast, with its characteristic high attenuation, creates the typical dry finish of the style and releases spicy notes of white pepper and clove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Character of the Hops\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe true uniqueness of T.A.C. lies in its hop selection. Chinook, an American hop with a resinous and citrus character, brings hints of grapefruit and pine, while Sorachi Ace, a Japanese variety grown in the United States, adds exotic notes of mango, coconut, and lemon. This combination creates a complex and fascinating aromatic bouquet that departs from more traditional Saisons while maintaining their elegance and drinkability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSensory Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen poured, T.A.C. shows a hazy golden color and abundant white foam.
