Description
An Omega-original, genetic hybrid of two Saison strains (French (OYL-026) and Belgian I (OYL-027)), Saisonstein's Monster is versatile, aromatic and attenuative with a silky mouthfeel. Excels in high gravity, ferments more reliably and thoroughly than its parents, and is spicy, complex, tart, dry and crisp. Some bubblegum from the Belgian, more fruit and fewer phenolics than the French.
