Home Brew Recipe: Battre L’oie Saison (All-Grain)

https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/homebrew-recipe/battre-loie-saison-grain/

“The overall character of the beer is a dry, grainy malt character, firm bitterness and mineral structure, with lots of aromatics coming from the yeast. Saison is a good base for adding spices or fruit, but these are variations on the style; normally these flavors and aromas come from the saison yeast.”
