St. Feuillien Saison 4-Pack is a Belgian farmhouse ale brewed at 6.5% ABV, packaged as four 330ml cans from Brasserie St-Feuillien in Le Roeulx, Belgium. Notably recognized as the first Belgian-brewed saison to be offered in a can, this expression earned a Silver Medal at the 2011 US Open Beer Championship in the Belgian Saison Ales category. Quick Facts: ABV: 6.5% | Origin: Le Roeulx, Hainaut, Belgium | Style: Belgian Saison / Farmhouse Ale | Brewery: Brasserie St-Feuillien Production & Heritage Brasserie St-Feuillien traces its roots to 1873 in Le Roeulx, a small town in the Hainaut province of Belgium. The brewery uses traditional top fermentation followed by secondary refermentation in the packaging vessel, a hallmark technique that produces natural carbonation and added complexity. St. Feuillien Saison stands apart in the brewery's lineup — and in the broader saison category — as a pioneering canned Belgian farmhouse ale, bringing the style's rustic character into a portable, modern format without sacrificing the refermentation process. Tasting Notes Aroma: The nose opens with bright citrus peel and honey-like sweetness before giving way to cracked black pepper and herbal, grassy hops. A subtle bready malt backbone ties the aromatics together. Taste: On the palate, lively effervescence carries sweet citrus and tropical fruit esters across the entry. The mid-palate develops biscuity malt and a distinct peppery phenolic character. As the beer opens up, herbal hop bitterness and a slight tartness emerge, pushing the profile toward a dry, balanced peak. Finish: The finish is crisp and decidedly dry, with lingering black pepper spice and a faint earthy hop note. Refreshingly clean, it leaves the palate ready for the next sip. How to Drink St. Feuillien Saison Pour into a tulip glass or Belgian goblet to concentrate the aromatic complexity; this saison is best enjoyed at cellar temperature, around 45–50°F, where its spice and fruit character fully open up. For cocktail applications, St. Feuillien Saison works well in a Bière Royale — a riff on a Kir Royale using saison in place of sparkling wine — where its dry effervescence and pepper notes complement the cassis liqueur. It also shines in a Radler with fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice, as the citrus in the beer amplifies the fruit pairing. A Shandy made with lemonade and this saison produces a balanced, low-ABV warm-weather drink that highlights the beer's honey and herbal qualities.
