Saison de Maison Blend 12

Balance Brewing and Blending, based in Manchester, marks their third anniversary with three new releases, including the latest addition to their Saison de Maison series: Blend 12. This saison showcases three classic British hop varieties—Pilgrim, Golding, and Fuggle—each contributing their own character and complexity. At 5.0% ABV, it's an approachable yet sophisticatedly crafted beer.

Tasting Notes

The nose presents enticing aromas of banana, tropical fruit, clove, white pepper, and aniseed. On the palate, vanilla, pear, and red berries emerge alongside clove and funky Brett character. The finish closes with citrus zest, funky bretanomyces notes, and soft bitterness. This layered flavour profile makes Blend 12 a fascinating choice for saison enthusiasts and beer explorers seeking refined complexity and depth.
