A Belgian saison is a refreshing ale with moderate alcohol content, originating from southern Belgium. It typically has a dry, effervescent, and rustic character. The flavor profile can include fruity, spicy, and earthy notes that come from the specific yeast strains used during fermentation. Saisons can also feature a variety of grains and may have some level of Brettanomyces or lactic character, contributing unique aromas and flavors to the beer.
