Saison | Corbeau Rouge

Saison means "season" in French, referring to the beer's original purpose: a low-gravity provision beer brewed in winter for seasonal farm workers. The term encompasses tremendous stylistic variation—from low-gravity table saisons (3.5-5.0% ABV) to powerful super saisons (7.0-9.5% ABV). What unites saisons is their essential character: dry, refreshing, highly attenuated, with prominent yeast and hop character. These beers represent the rustic, rough-around-edges opposite of modern refined brewing.

Red IPA

Hoppy, bitter, and moderately strong like an American IPA, but with some caramel, toffee, and/or dark fruit malt character. Retaining the dryish finish and lean body that makes IPAs so drinkable, a Red IPA is a little more flavorful and malty than an American IPA without being sweet or heavy.
