I love saisons, but hated the high alcohol, so I created my first session saison to get around that. Now I've played with the recipe and developed something new.
For the base malt, I had some Maris Otter I needed to use up, and I thought it might give a nice malty backbone.
I love Strisselspalt - such a nice hop, and so underrated! And I paired it with Belma, which gives a nice strawberry/melon flavor and aroma that pairs nicely with the yeasty spice of 3711.
This beer has only been tasted by a handful of people so far, but it's already gotten some "I'd buy this" so I can't complain! Enjoy!
