Swiss Golden Ale, Herbal Saison

Brewed by: Brasserie des Franches-Montagnes (BFM)
Country: Switzerland
Style: Golden Ale

ABV: 6%
BeerAdvocate.com rating: 84

Brasserie des Franches-Montagnes brewed this hybrid of a golden ale and saison with sage.  It is truly bitter with a subtle bouquet.  La Meule pours a slightly hazy golden orange with a small head and some lacing.  It has an amazingly fresh, herbal kick that will convince you that it needs to be in a class of its own.  Intense herbal aroma of honey, sage, lemongrass, citrus and stone fruit, soft on the palate, balanced and complex.  Long herbal dry finish.
