A celebration of well-made simplicity, the Saison d’Épeautre 75 cl from Brasserie de Blaugies embodies the spirit of specialty beers that favour the right touch and the truth of the ingredients. Brewed with barley malt and spelt, it unfurls a rustic yet refined charm, like an impressionist painting where each aromatic note highlights the next. Its spicy profile and cereal texture make a precise and welcoming pair, offering a freshness that suits the moment, from aperitif to everyday dishes. Unfiltered and at 6% ABV, it appeals to discerning fans as well as curious newcomers seeking an authentic blonde that expresses itself without overstatement. Here, indulgence is lithe, the dry finish stretches the tasting, and balance asserts itself as obvious.

Blend and brewing

In this take on the saison style, the combination of barley malt and spelt creates a tasting structure of clear definition. Barley provides the backbone and a malty suppleness, while spelt, an ancient grain, leaves its rustic, slightly grainy and almost velvety signature. Fermentation stages bring forward an aromatic expression where the natural spices of the saison profile converse with a herbal thread and a hint of fresh yeast. Unfiltered, the beer retains a broader, almost tactile mouthfeel that highlights the purity of the ingredients: malted barley, water, hops and yeast. This pared-back composition, combined with a measured alcohol level, allows for high drinkability, easy digestion and a sense of clarity that invites the next glass. The 75 cl format, designed for conviviality, completes this cuvée’s shareable dimension, at the heart of a table that celebrates enlightened simplicity.

Tasting notes

• Appearance : Bright and gently hazy, animated by fine effervescence that forms an airy head. The whole promises a lean, lively mouthfeel true to the artisanal saison spirit.
• Nose : A precise expression of gentle spices and noble grains, where the cereal accents of spelt are noticeable, with a touch of fresh yeast and a herbal hop imprint. The ensemble breathes authenticity and clarity.
• Palate : Fresh, straightforward attack, a finely grainy cereal texture, measured bitterness that stretches the finish. The sensation is easy-drinking; the dry, pared-back frame highlights the thirst-quenching character without sacrificing complexity.

Serving temperature and tips

To reveal its liveliness and the relief of its aromas, serve this saison well-chilled, in a tulip or flared glass that will allow the spicy and cereal notes to open up. The 75 cl bottle makes it an ideal companion for shared moments. Open the bottle gently to preserve the foam and let the aromatic structure express itself. At the table, favour honest cooking, market produce and an approach where flavour comes first, and take a tasting pace that respects the beer’s natural lift.

Food pairings

• Aperitifs : delicate fish rillettes, homemade pickles, crunchy vegetables, light tapenades. The saison’s linear freshness balances saltiness and awakens the vegetal notes.
• Starters : fresh herb salads, asparagus with vinaigrette, delicate ceviche, sea bream tartare. The tension and restraint support precise seasonings.
• Main courses : roast chicken with herbs, grilled white fish, roasted seasonal vegetables, mildly spiced cuisine. The cereal texture dialogues with cooking juices and a hint of smoke.
• Cheeses : light tomme, young cantal, fresh goat cheese. The dry finish cleanses the palate and highlights pressed uncooked cheeses and thin rinds.
• Desserts : thin tart with yellow fruits, lightly sweet shortbreads, delicately candied citrus. The beer underscores finesse without weighing down the end of the meal.
