About This Beer
Wide Street Brewing Little Nelson Session Saison is a 3.7% ABV farmhouse-style ale brewed in Ballymahon, Co. Longford. Inspired by Belgian brewing traditions but given an Irish twist, this saison is brewed with Nelson Sauvin hops, famous for their white grape and gooseberry character. The result is a light, crisp, and refreshing beer that balances yeast-driven spice with hop-driven fruitiness. Perfect for those who enjoy lighter craft beer Ireland options without sacrificing flavour, it’s a shining example of how Irish brewers continue to innovate with classic European styles.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Pale golden and lightly hazy with a soft white head that lingers in the glass.

  • Aroma: Zesty citrus, white grape, subtle gooseberry, and a gentle peppery note from saison yeast.

  • Flavour: Crisp and refreshing with hints of lemon, grape, and a delicate herbal bitterness. The yeast contributes spice and dryness that complements the fruity hops.

  • Mouthfeel: Light-bodied, effervescent, and highly drinkable with a clean, dry finish.

About the Brewery
Based in Ballymahon, Co. Longford, Wide Street Brewing has quickly become one of the most respected names in Irish craft beer. Known for their dedication to open fermentation, wild yeasts, and barrel ageing, the brewery produces beers that are both rustic and refined. Little Nelson is a great example of their creativity: a saison with session strength, allowing drinkers to enjoy multiple glasses without sacrificing complexity.

As part of the brewery’s portfolio, Little Nelson demonstrates Wide Street’s ability to embrace heritage while appealing to today’s craft beer drinker. For fans of saisons, farmhouse ales, and hop-forward Belgian styles, this beer strikes the perfect balance.

Food Pairings
The light, crisp profile of Little Nelson Session Saison makes it versatile at the table:

  • Excellent with roast chicken, grilled fish, or seafood pasta.

  • Complements creamy cheeses such as brie or camembert.

  • A refreshing partner to spicy Asian dishes, particularly Thai or Vietnamese cuisine.

  • Pairs well with fruit-based desserts like lemon tart or poached pears.

Why Choose This Beer
Little Nelson is more than just a session saison — it’s a testament to the creativity and ambition of Irish craft brewers. Its lower ABV makes it approachable and sessionable, while the interplay of yeast spice and Nelson Sauvin fruitiness ensures it remains engaging for enthusiasts.
