In a lemon saison recipe, the key components include adding lemon peel or zest and possibly incorporating lemony hops varieties, such as Sorachi Ace or Lemondrop, to amplify the citrus character. The lemon addition works well with the fruity esters and spicy phenolics that are typical of Belgian saison yeast strains. To achieve the desired lemon flavor, add lemon zest or peel during the last 5-10 minutes of the boil, or during the whirlpool stage. Additionally, use hops with high lemony characteristics, either during the late boil or as dry-hopping additions.
