EPISODE 8
Saison?
There is no definition of “Saison”
No really good one that I’ve heard, at least
Just ask, and you’ll be given a vague one
Like, “mumble mumble mumble Belgian yeast”
“But what about the French saisons?” I cry
“OK, them too, they’re part of the whole scene
Still, they’re all farmhouse ales, you can’t deny.”
Yet what does “farmhouse ale” even mean?
The alcohol is low, that much we know
For farmhands to gulp down when labor’s spent
Then what about Dupont’s “Avec bons Voeux,”
With alcohol at whopping nine percent?
But if you think defining saison’s hard
Try coming up with one for “Biere de Garde!”
