A collaboration between Dogfish Head and Browerij De Brabandere - brewers of Petrus Sour Beers - our Brewing Ambassador Bryan Selders traveled all the way to Belgium to brew Saison de Pale for Philly Loves Beer's annual Philly Beer Week!
Saison de Pale is a Belgian Ale brewed with Pilsner, wheat and rye malts, and is balanced with Saaz hops. The Saison yeast gives forth peppery, herbal and bready aromas which carry through to the flavor. The Saison alone is soft and finishes dry and refreshing. 15% Petrus Aged Pale is blended in bringing a nice tension to the beer, making it gently tart and extra quenching. The beer remains unfiltered, which provides a medium body and smooth mouthfeel to the drinking experience.
