Originally created in Belgium, the Saison is the beer style compared to red wines for their common fermentation and flavors. Its name literally means “season” and refers to the fact that it was only cooked during the winter, and after maturing, it was consumed during the summer. This is generally a pale, refreshing beer with a very dry finish. These beers tend to have much higher carbonation than average beers, and have a fruity or spicy flavor. Fairly aromatic, often reminiscent of citrus fruits such as oranges or lemons.
