About This Beer

Some of the best berries in Western Washington come from Sidhu Farms — including the raspberries Fair Isle used to create this fruity and floral brew. They also honored their partnership with the farm by deriving the title Himmat from the name of the farmer’s hometown.

The Saison began with a spelt, oat, and pilsner malt base hopped with Hallertau Mittelfruh. Then it spent three months fermenting in a foeder for extra complexity.

Tasting Notes

Each crisp, sweet-tart sip sings with sun-ripened fruit and nuances of baguette intermingled with notes of dried grass, freshly turned earth, and a subtle whiff of wild rose.

Fresh raspberry, a bit tart with a dry finish. Aroma reminded me of Spree candy.

Nice subtle raspberry on the nose. Dry and tart. Very crisp drinking.

colors amazing and fun to look at and drink in the sun, sour with an overall taste of raspberries really giving it that bitterness the berry gives you.

Dry, Sour, Funky… minimal fruit. Aroma is a home run just have to have a little more fruit for 5 stars.

Phenomenal in my opinion. The raspberry comes through brilliantly subtle, the base saison is mellow in respect to others that I've had. Tart, but not a punch in the face. Reminds me more of a fruited sour than a saison, but fantastic either way.

dry, grassy, farmhouse funk, dry raspberry, very, very light tartness. this is a fantastic saison with how balanced and even the beer itself is with the raspberry additions.
