Les Perles Du Homard from Brewpub De Kromme Haring is a classic saison where two traditional yeast strains—one Belgian and one French—combine to craft a complex farmhouse ale. The brewery fermented and lagered it for roughly two months, producing a dry, full-flavoured beer that belies its 8% ABV.

Saison is all about the yeast, and this beer proves the point. Spicy and lightly tart notes dominate, characteristic of the style, while the extended fermentation develops fruity esters and a distinctive dryness. Despite its strength, it drinks with surprising ease.
