Barn Raiser Saison Beer Kit

Description

Your Barn Raiser Saison delivers a light and dry farmhouse ale with fruity esters and spicy phenols from the BE-134 Saison yeast, leading to a crisp refreshing finish. The Briess Pilsen Light Dry Malt Extract supplies smooth malty sweetness as the base, while the flaked wheat adds creaminess and body for that classic farmhouse character. Saaz hops contribute gentle earthy bitterness along with delicate floral aroma.

Your Barn Raiser Saison kit never sits on a shelf. Your grains are crushed to order. Your ingredients are packed fresh and you don't pay for a flashy box. It's all about providing you with the freshest ingredients for you to make your best beer.
