Saint-Affrique is a typical Saison: an artisanal beer pale in colour, aromatic, refreshing, pleasantly dry and with a moderate bitterness, and seasoned with coriander for extra complexity. It features a light body, a soft malt character with a slightly earthy undertone on the palate; restrained fruity accents reminiscent of citrus; floral hops; subtle spicy notes of pepper and cardamom; a respectable but not overwhelming alcohol content and a dry finish. Originally a farmhouse ale, this highly attenuated beer was typically brewed during the harvesting season in Wallonia (the French-spoken southern part of Belgium) and in France, but has since become a mainstream style with a higher alcohol content and a unique, complex character.

Dublin Docks is a proper Irish stout for the true connoisseur, black in colour with a robust yet easily drinkable character.
