Ballykilcavan Brewery, steeped in history, stands on a farm that has been owned by the Walsh family since 1639. Located in Stradbally, County Laois, the brewery prides itself on a field-to-glass ethos, using barley and water sourced directly from their land. Their commitment to sustainability and local production is reflected in their innovative brewing practices and the fresh, distinctive flavours of their beers.
Tasting Notes:
- Appearance: The beer pours a radiant golden colour, clear and bright, with a robust white head that lingers, inviting the first sip.
- Aroma: Dominated by the zesty and fresh lemon scent from the Lemondrop hops, complemented by a bouquet of floral and herbal undertones that promise a refreshing experience.
- Flavour: The palate is greeted with a sharp citrus tang immediately upon tasting, followed by a complex layering of mild spicy notes and a gentle sweetness, characteristic of the saison style.
- Mouthfeel: Light to medium-bodied with a smooth texture that carries the vibrant carbonation and leads to a crisp, satisfying finish.
Food Pairings: Ideal with a summer salad dressed in vinaigrette, grilled white fish, or a citrus-based dessert, this saison enhances flavours with its crisp and bright profile, making it a versatile choice for pairing with a wide range of dishes.
