Perzik & Druif from Brouwerij De Molen is an ambitious 10.5% saison that brings together white peach, white wine yeast and beech wood chips. The brewery, housed in the historic De Arkduif windmill built in 1697 in Bodegraven, ventures into unexpected territory here.

The aroma recalls witbier with oaty notes, yet the first sip reveals something sparkling and distinctive. The body is fuller than a typical saison suggests, with oats lending a pleasant softness. This beer balances fruity and yeasty character, revealing layers of complexity beyond the initial impression.
